Misleading photo?

here

I was about to bid thinking it was the whole lot in the photo, then rethought adn read the description - Only 5 items are actually up for sale!! Also items could be Cover Girl which is a bit cheap compared to Dior and Clinique - lol

    Hi
    Personally I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
    Not only is the picture misleading but her description of what you will recieve is rather ambiguous.
    Follow your gut feeling sweetie!! :rolleyes:
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

    You would probably receive the cheapest items, Just looked at the sellers writing at the bottom and find these two funny

    Question time:

    It is not our intention to mislead in any way when describing items. We write what we see. If you have any questions, no matter how small or silly you think they are, please ask away


    Refunds and Problems:

    Every effort has been made to describe the goods as seen. Refunds are therefore NOT given.

    I like this part:

    All Makeup and Fragrances:

    Please read sizes of makeup and fragrances carefully. Most items are small travel or trial size. These are great for holidays or weekends away or just trying before buy the larger size. These small sizes often last a long time and can prove more economical than making a larger purchase in your department store. All items are bought although some are separated for re sale. You may see 'not for resale' or simular wording on the back of many items as these were originally produced as free gifts to encourage you to make expensive purchases in the main stores. These are commonly known as GWP (Gift With Purchase) items.


    So basically all you will get are samplers and freebies from this seller.

    Misleading? Too right!!!

    So someone has paid £38 (inc.p+p) and they could end up with things like eyelash curlers, trial size rubbish, or a nail varnish......what a con!

    Got a lot of good, solid feedback though so a lot of people were not unhappy with their buy!

    However, I too wouldn't bother...

    True,but he does state feedback will not be given until feedback received.Some buyers will be reluctant to leave a neg feedback as they will get one in return,leave well alone imo.

    Yes, VERY misleading! I've noticed most of the sellers neut/neg feedback is for this item.
    I would certainly not pay those prices for just 5 items! and I wouldnt call it wholesale either!
