An Idea to Make money on ebay

I'm not sure if this would work but just something I thought up, I don't plan to do it but anyway

You get take a picture of like you're new xbox, ps2 whatever with some controllers etc. Post it on ebay and start bidding at $100 you tell people it is in mint condition etc. If someone asks if its a picture do not lie, tell them the truth, there most likely will be some who don't ask. They pay you, but don't realize you're selling an actual PICTURE not the console. So you make like $100 off a picture.

That is cruel and unusual punishment if you ask me. LOL. Thats so mean, twisted

lol yeah why would you wanna do that to someone?

you should be banned for that

That is hilarious but so evil. Probably should kept the idea to yourself. You saw what happened with the myspace thread.

I've never done it...and don't plan to. But I was looking at some of the dumb shit people post on ebay and wondered what if...

Ban me for an idea?

yeah exactly.....some guys at work and i were gonna play a joke like that on a guy who kept taking all the leftover food that was made for the employees (i worked in a kitchen) and not giving anyone else the chance to get any. he would keep it in one of the fridges so one day after we had had enough of his shit, we were gonna (but didnt have the time) take his food out of the fridge, take a picture of it, print it out upstairs and then put the picture in place of his food and throw the food out lol.

the look on his face wouldve been priceless D

eBay would suspend/terminate your account, and PayPal would reverse any payments sent through them...regardless of how it was worded. They side with the buyer when item descriptions are "misleading."

I've seen that on eBay.

Right when ebay came out, this guy had about 5 different Dell desktop auctions.
He claimed the computers were new, and that you were bidding on what was pictured (a picture).

Everyone who won the auction ($500+) received an envelop with a picture of the computer they bid on.

Needless to say, the guy got charged with fraud and had to pay everything back plus some.

YOu didn't think of that. That's so old, that is in fact everywhere.

like same thing witht the xbox, box or ps2 box and you just get a box lol

Ive seen that except it was a poster for an really expensive paintball gun so the person won a poster for like $1000.

all this goes to show ppl are idiots on ebay...way too trusting of sellers

Rightfully so. People may be idiots, but don't take advantage of their trust. Trusting eachother is what separates us from the animals evil

that's scamming.

All the time I see auctions for "Get your FREE iPod" - I saw one go up to $300, and the guy paid for it. He received the seller's ref link to freeipods.

Yea, I was just browsing on ebay looking to see how much Xbox's are going for so I can sell mine that I got from FGS. This one guy was selling "information packets" on how to get an Xbox for free and they were going for $50-$100. Some people are just too gullible.

Not too add any fuel to the fire.

What you just wrote (halfbreed) is disgusting. People are skeptical as it is when on ebay and dealing with money, now imagine you were not as gifted as you are, and you naively bid and won. Imagine what would be going through you.

This is not cute, funny, or the least bit intelligent. Why don't you grow up and get a job? Some of us bust ourselves for a crummy paycheck, but I take my paycheck and cherish it because I know my sweat and blood went into it. Work for your money, or your ethics will go right out the window.

Two cents cashed.

Uhm...I do have a job actually. I do work for the things I get. I never once said I was planning on doing it, never said I've done it. I just thought of it and I guess a lot of others have. So chill out dude lol
