Well yeah i suppose so muska, still he was prob excited and obviously skipped through the tech spec. So if the lad pays and the seller sends him a picture. Does the buyer have any come back?

i suppose there is nothing he can do, if you read the rest its just blurb from some website, maybe he could get done for copying it with out having permission but thats about it. i looked through the feedback for the seller and he seems like a right twat, leaving negative comments to the people who have left him good feedback.

No comeback unless he goes to ebay to report a misleading ad. I would report it. Obviously it does state it's not for a system but I expect that ebay would take a dim view of it, as they did when some guy sold a bloke a PS2 box for £350 when they first came out

A colleague said he's go round and kick his head in

Should have let him buy it.

470 quid is good value for a lesson in reading things properly, and also in this case comes with a free picture!

Chip he did buy it! (Well I'd guess probably sent instant paypal! ) as he left the seller negative feedback, the seller appears to still be active he's just hiding his feedback that's all!

It is out of order, but I agree people should read things because in a way he has done nothing wrong and is £470 better off!

Don't think the buyer will have a claim either!

The ad is plain wrong and is in breach under the misleading titles T&C's:

If a seller lists an item simply as “Apple iPod”, the seller must be selling an actual Apple iPod – not accessories to an Apple iPod, or items related to or unrelated to an Apple iPod.
The seller listed an 'XBOX 360 PREMIUM PACKAGE' ......
