IS this Legal

bleugh

i set up a fake account over christmas to outbid and warn noobies about these auctions

the amount of grief i got over it, from sellers (i didnt care) and the idiots i was warning led me to think, just let them get on with it

about 20 people that i warned simply replied back asking 'is this xxxx item ok then', etc listing often 10's of auctions

of over 200 people emailed, only one said thanks

at least one was featured in an article in a daily newspaper, having been scammed for buying a photo (i emailed him 4 seperate times on 4 auctions)


in summary, if people are too bloody stupid to read the whole description, let them get on with it, they'll learn the hard way

Its gone now.

But I agree with bleugh's statement. Auctions like this might be wrong "morally" but if e-bayers don't read auctions thoroughly then its totally their own fault. If they fact that they are bidding on a link is stated in the auction then I see nothing wrong with it. Just my opinion.
