What is it with these people. Will ebay actually allow this to go through their system if the purchaser has paid and gets a picture in return?

Why wouldn't they allow it to go through? If some idiot spends £600 on something without actually reading what they are buying then it serves them right!

If you look at his feedback, he has already sold a picture of a Nokia N95 for £150.

Looks like a bargain to me.. I've asked him what size the picture is as I might be interested if the picture is a suitable size..

Ive just reported it as misleading title.

Just because somebody is stupid, it doesn't mean you have the right to take advantage of them.

Exactly and i wouldn't wish being conned out of £600 to anyone tbh, especially at this time of year. Although saying that this one really isn't very clever at all and i cant see anyone falling for it, but i reported it anyway.

i'm guessing that, because its not negative and anyone who would be pleased with buying a picture for £150 is a nutcase, it's probably one of his friends he's told to bid on the item.

Reported also for misleading title.

Everyone ask him stupid questions.

But it's not misleading. He is selling a picture of a Dell Inspiron M1330 laptop, how much clearer could it possibly be?

SpeedFreak · 21 Dec 2007 at 15:38

Unless he painted it by hand, it ain't worth £600 buy it now, is it? Surprisingly that price is also on the good side of legitimate m1330s for sale on ebay

Check his feedback.

"beauchat 900 (900cm) speargun with a 16mm bands and an articulated wishbone"

So dont mess.

He's doing nothing against the law/ebay rules, I don't see why they'd remove it if you reported it. Anyone who buys it deserves to lose £600 for being so stupid.

MofoKilla · 21 Dec 2007 at 15:40

If anyone is daft enough to fall for this then more fool them lol. Seen something similar to this on the real hustle

jamief · 21 Dec 2007 at 15:40

It's not misleading, you people are fools, and have presumably been caught out by this kind of thing before

Princess Diana Abbott · 21 Dec 2007 at 15:40

Give the guy some credit for trying, then a slap for just the cheek of it all

Not your auction is it?

Surfer · 21 Dec 2007 at 15:43

is it in pictures category or

computers/laptops category

simple as.

If the latter then its a con and they should do something, remove it or whatever.

lol no, I had a feeling someone might ask though

I just don't like the blame culture - was a program on the other night about debt, they got people to sign upto a fake credit card in a shopping center, they all signed up without reading the Terms and Conditions, then declared it a scam when they found out the 30% APR charge etc

fools!!
