It really is false advertising though, the headline states the tv.
That's so wrong.

A misleading listing like that deserves to be reported, but try to do so and you're straight into Ebay's crappy drop down menu system that only lets you select completely inappropriate reasons for complaint.

I waded through the report menus and found an appropriate one - reported!

Mind you knowing ebay they'll ignore it and take their fees

Just goes to show that some people only read the title and not the advert, yes the seller is wrong for the article he is selling but the buyer obviously has not done his homework either.

locksmith · « **Reply #10 on:** 27 December 2014, 10:59:20 am »

Yes but as you scroll down through Item specifics and detailed item info, its all the TV details.
Then when you get to the bit the seller fills out, in small print, the first sentence says the bit about its not a tv and then theres a thousand word essay all about the TV.

Looking at the sellers feedback, apart from one negative, all looks good. I wonder if the accounts been hacked?

But she repeats the line about it not actually being the tv for sale many many times in that description.
If she knows what's going on then it's just cruel basically.

Look his sold listings they has already done it and sold one for £740
If it is a hack how does that work does the hacker get the paypal payment or the account that has been hacked

chaz · « **Reply #13 on:** 27 December 2014, 12:34:08 pm »

also reported it, sometimes if you view on phones it doesnt always show all the details?

locksmith · « **Reply #14 on:** 27 December 2014, 01:47:00 pm »

Found the sold one. That was a three day listing that ended yesterday. Todays one is a one day listing.
My monies on the account being hacked

dickturpin · « **Reply #15 on:** 27 December 2014, 01:57:34 pm »

You may be right about the account being hacked....all previous sales have been pretty low value items.

Ebme Geek · « **Reply #16 on:** 27 December 2014, 05:38:32 pm »

5 mins left, 26 bids & £720 !!!!!!

clayt74 · « **Reply #17 on:** 27 December 2014, 05:54:42 pm »

Ha I got it at £721 win win can't wait for it to be delivered!!!

fazersharp · « **Reply #18 on:** 27 December 2014, 08:21:47 pm »

Also odd that the feedback is supposedly 306 yet they actually only have 9 if you look at the feedback page

9 in the last 12months, 306 overall.

They are con-artists though and I did report this 'auction' earlier.

dickturpin · « **Reply #23 on:** 30 December 2014, 12:40:20 pm »

It was a large HD TV which sold for £720.....but in the small print all the seller was supplying was a list of places to buy the telly..
