Just thought I would throw out that I have seen a Judge Judy episode with this exact case. She looked at the seller who very confidently handed over the listing that said it was for a picture of a phone (and not an actual phone) and ripped them a new one. She ruled in favor of the buyer, stating that no one in their right mind would pay that much for just a picture and that they clearly thought they were getting a product.

It really sucks that you have to be so careful on ebay these days, I have sold over 200 items (I know that’s not much in the grand scheme of things) but I have never been scammed once, my feedback is full of glowing reports, even one from a guy I forgot to post his printer to until he sent me an email 2 weeks later! and he still gave me positive “perfect ebayer” crap once it got there 18 days late! Either I haven’t sold enough to find the scammers yet or I’m extremely lucky.
And on the subject of not getting scammed, I wonder how many sellers put lost post down to scammers? I have had 3 no shows in 3 years, but quite rightly never been called a scammer. I may have a naughty neighbour but as I live in the UK and most of our post seems to get dumped or stolen by the postmen I don’t worry about it too much!

The scam is old and really you should READ the listing properly, i am not condoning what any BAD seller does BTW.

Sorry but buyers really dont understand how many SCAMMERS sellers get, we get them all the fucking time, my block list is huge coz im sick of toerags tryin to free stuff from me.

Buyers just have to be diligent, sellers have to be like bloody HAWKS!

Takes us days waiting for the ignorant PESTS to communicate, they never do, they win our stuff never pay or try and scam a multiple amount of ways. Its a shame but the sellers have to watch out for each other, i dont trust any BUYER on ebay anymore, had enough of people taking my money coz of my good will.

Sorry, the seller scam here was shit but you wanna read listings properly in future.
