    It does state they are tesco sports vouchers in the actual listing but I agree that the actual title is misleading.
    I have reported it to Ebay so lets see if they let her get away with it.
    She's not a very clever woman - she's trying to flog a £6 pamper kit from boots with a BIN of £10!!
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

  • I actually got a reply, yes these are the sports for schools vouchers, lets hope nobody actually buys them!!
    also she has a worrying amount of question marks in all her listings, could this be because she doesnt actually know what it is she is listing?

    i emailed her again as to why she is not more clear on the listing and that someone could be misled and pays her £180 for these vouchers her reply was
    "are you intrested in these then? and if so how much do you want to pay for these? but not to sound rude but i did pay to get these my self? well let me know cheers"
  • does she not understand that these are FREE yes FREE when you spend over £10? she didnt actually pay to get them, she would have probably shopped at tesco anyway!

    Ive just reported to ebay for misleading title.
    I was duped a couple of years ago by someone selling somerfield vouchers,they were actually tchibo vouchers obtained free at somerfield on a promotion and were for £1 off a £10 spend,apparently the seller duped another couple of buyers,i eventually got reimbursed £97 of the £112 i paid by ebay,it took nearly a year to resolve,iam now alot more careful as to what i buy on ebay.
