Steviegeeza Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Watch out for Ebay auctions that look as if they are advertising Supra performance parts even down to having the correct postage for an Item that size, a picture of the item, a long description of its merits etc. Then right at the end a small disclaimer saying that the auction is for a fuse or similar.[sHOCK][/sHOCK] Heres the one that caught me![ANGRY][/ANGRY] http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4651148783 It caught at least one other guy and there are still a few running. I asked the guy for a refund pointing out that the Auction was misleading and if he was just advertising why scam money from people but he declined to do the right thing even though it was just £15. I've complained to ebay and they are looking into it. This guy has a what looks to be a reasonable business and I bet some of you know him. If you do use ebay Watch out for his Auctions! I leave it to you as to how far you would trust him with your Supra, especially if there where a problem with parts or work he had supplied.

markrzs Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I was looking at that auction the other day and did'nt read the very bottom, fortunatly I did'nt bid or buy anything from him. Why do people advertise like that ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I believe that person is a member on here, but misleading auctions are way too common, looks like a good deal, but basically is just a plug for other items/services. I really try to stay clear on Ebay now, unless the items are being privately sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_a Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Did you credit card it? you could ask for a charge back. also if he's a business as he says report them to Trading Standards for dodgy advertising. Scameister! m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ok fair enough I can see the point but when you buy something from E bay when people know what it is like, is it not best to read the item add carefully? So that who ever is buying the item fully understands what they are actually buying. Don't get me wrong I agree that the item is misleading but buyers should read the item desription.

michael Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Sounds like they need a kicking from eBay: Sellers are not permitted to create titles for their listings that do not accurately describe the item for sale. Breaches of this policy may result in a range of actions, including: Listing cancellation Limits on account privileges Account suspension Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings Loss of PowerSeller status Example 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.
