Default eBayer pays £470 for photo of Xbox 360

check this ad out..

an unwary eBayer appears to have just paid £470 for what he or she obviously thought was an "XBOX 360 PREMIUM PACKAGE":



but check the description carefully.. (read the last few sentences)



DOH!!!

It was pretty damn obvious in the advert that it was a picture and not the actual item. The buyer isn't exactly a new user either.

I think it's bang out of order but by Ebay rules I doubt the seller has done anything wrong.

Yes, but it's against the T&C's of eBay. As pointed out in the previous thread by the bongmeister

Wether the buyer sent money I don't know, he had left negative feedback a short time after though...
