eBay con - makes me mad

Posts: 79 Forumite
Was thinking about getting some GHD irons, and came across this this evening. I'm not silly enough to bid on them, but it just makes me mad - what an absolute con! How can she get away with putting in tiny letters on the bottom 'not actual product - list of website, buyer beware' (or words to the effect)? Would be tempted to email the bidders to warn them, but you never know - maybe they're her mates!

I can't believe people are still bidding considering she has 92% feedback scoreAccept that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.0

The bidders are nearly all newbies except one. The buyer is listed in West Yorkshire and the one that's not a newbie is listed in Lancashire.

If you are looking for genuine GHDs, look at the website 4yourhair - got some for my daughter - good price and delivered by special delivery, very quick service.bruneythedog wrote:Was thinking about getting some GHD irons, and came across this this evening.

Ive looked at all the auctions she sold and there is no evidence of shilling as far i can see.Accept that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.0

So it seems like innocent eBayers are being conned and the seller is just getting away with it.-->♥<-- Sugar Coated Owl -->♥<--

Just seemed like a big jump in bidding for an 'experienced' ebayer!

Ive reported 3 of their auctions. People should really learn to read the full auction before bidding.Accept that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.0
