Thanks

You can report it for miscategorisation.
Edit: apparently you can't, that category seems to be gone...
I'm going with misleading title. It isn't really, but the category is wrong... maybe someone will take a look at it.My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
Oh dear

Some poor sod if going to be VERY upset.
To be fair, it DOES clearly say 'only the box', but the fact that the seller has included all the phone spec. as well as a photo of the phone tells me he's trying it on
You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that

Yeah, as the person who posted about it said, it's almost as though they've implied they missed the 'd' off boxed which isn't the case
It's been reported so hopefully it gets pulled

Yea I reported it... that's not nice, someone will end up bidding hundreds to get a box.Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.0

Hmmm unfortunatly there is a character limit on the "ask a question" feature.
This is what I sent:
(Dear seller)
Hi there, will this boxe work with other mobile phones or is it nokia only? I have a sony ericsson k750 that is missing it's boxe, do you think this boxe would be suitable for my sony ericsson k750? Also is there anything inside the boxe as £8.99 is a lot of postage for 1 boxe and I am scared I might be getting ripped off on the postage for this boxe as I'm not even sure if this boxe will fit my mobile phone (it's a sony ericsson). Do you have any more photos of this nokia phone boxe as I'd like to get a good idea what the boxe looks like before I confirm my bid of £100GBP (I plan to snipe the boxe auction just before it ends). Also, do you have a buy it now (some people call it a BIN, but it's nothing to do with rubbish) as I may be interested purchasing this boxe on an imediate basis. If this boxe will not my sony ericsson do you have any other boxes for sale that may fir my mobile phone? Do you have a choice of colours in this boxe? I would like a choice of colour of boxe. bye. xxx.

if someone bids on that and wins it then it is there own fault for not reading the listing properly, this sort of thing has been going on for years.
remember the xbox box0 -

You're right of course, but sellers like this need to be dealt with, they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it; deliberately trying to mislead and con - imo by showing the photo of the phone and the full spec. he/she knows exactly what they're doing.
Don't recall the xbox box, but I can imagine :rolleyes:You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that
