I say people that don't take the time to actually read into what they're buying deserve to be caught in scams so they learn better.

It's very clearly a scam, but he said it was a picture in the description so the guy has to payGarfield_ said:No the one selling the damn picture should have a big text saying " Picture only, no XBOX, just picture "
I bet his idea was to scam someone, damn bastard

The guy didn't break the law by claiming he was selling something he wasn't, so it's not a scam. However, it is relying on the gullibility of people who assume, instead of first reading the facts - a classic marketing trick - which is of course morally dipping baby jesus in donkey vomit, for which said seller will barbecue in hell for eternity. Seems like a fair trade.

Yeah, I wonder if they can actually claim to eBay that they made a mistake about buying it though.CR0M said:

These auctions never actually get the seller paid. Unless the buyer is dumb enough to quickly make the winning bid, contact the seller and then make the payment all without properly reading the description.
I had a friend that put on a silly auction saying the winner would be getting satisfaction knowing he helped out a poor college student in big bold letters for the title. Bidding started small and low...but it got to $800. Nobody even emailed him after the auction.
There's plenty of people out there that will make up excuses or just plain not pay. It's not like Ebay would come after you if you don't...

I think the seller could technically sue if the guy doesn't pay. He agreed to pay ~$800 for the picture and didn't. IANAL, but it seems that's something you could sue over.
