Please please please read eBay descriptions carefully

As title says I'm so upset thinking of the people that are going to be ripped off. People are scumbags

Saw earlier that people are bidding up these scam listings and scalpers to ridiculous amounts and then not paying in order to waste their time and piss them off and also make sure that noone falls for it

Good! I hope that's the case

Yeah that's too obvious for even Mr Thicky to fall for

Must be to wind them up

I'd also report any like that if you see them. Utter bastards!

@Plonque I tried to report but the description of items is not misleading!

I'm sending the universe my wishes that these pricks get kidney stones.

I must be Mrs Thicky because I dont see what is going on in the photo? Is it damaged?

I think the issue is you are paying £650 for a photo.

I think you can report as misleading, they are relying on people not reading it properly. I would report still.

Some people will get conned it happens every year sadly

Oh hang on, surely it's not just a photo?!

Is it that they're just selling a photo? That's terrible if so!

@bunintheoven88 - the item listed is "photo of PS5". They will literally post you a print out of the photo in the listing, and not a physical PS5. You'd have paid hundreds of pounds for a sheet of paper....

Bun they are selling a photo of a ps5 not an actual ps5

That's abominable

This happens quite a bit. Usually people bid silly amounts and never pay just to annoy the sellers who are trying to rip people off. It happened a lot when the McDonald's monopoly was on and people would sell a 'picture' of Mayfair which was the rare one.

There's a ton of empty box listings as well.

Someone once bought an Xbox box I think.

It happens so often. I knew a guy who did it with the xbox one a few years ago. He listed an empty xbox one box on ebay as 'Xbox one box; pristine condition' and sold it for £150. He got so much flack from his family for it that he arranged a full refund for the person who fell for it. Absolutely scumbags.

I just searched "photo of PS5" and there is tons on eBay. 😡

I don't think they can claim to be honest.

I once bought a Lego set. The instructions only arrived. I had searched for Lego friends. I re read the description and it said Lego friends whatever the set was instructions only.

I didn't read to the end abs it didn't even occur to me someone would pay £12 for instructions. I couldn't open a case. Obviously this is a lot more money so hopefully they can.

Oh come off it. Perhaps you spoke to someone way down the cs chain, tweet... Post in their customer feedback... Raise complaint with ebay...

Also did you buy on cc.. That may help p

This is worse!

I get that it says it’s a photo, but I can’t believe people would fall for it.
It says photo of my ....
I checked eBay, there is loads of it like that..
In one listing it says photo will be printed on the winning day.

I fell for one, i thought it was for dog poo bags, turned out was a bag. Quite a funny example, even though I was still p'd off.
