PS5 SCAM Listing!

[davidk1614]

How can it be right and fair, that 'PHOTOS' of the new Platatation 5 are listed on ebay?

One of these listings has SIX bids all from the same bidder & all within 20 minutes, and is currently up to £270!

This is a 'RIPOFF' waiting to happen for some unsuspecting parent/grandparant looking for a Christmas gift, as they may not read the listing properly!

Ebay should be watching this kind of thing really carefully as its really just not on!!

Sellers can use Ebay Catalogue pictures, and 6 bids from the same buyer will not move the item price until someone else bids.

While it could be a scam, buyers have the Money Back Guarantee if they bother to read it, it is usually a means of trying to deter other bidders. There is very little point in bidding many times.

If there are other bidders then they are probably Automated Bids.

You should not be so quick to call "SCAM" when it is more likely something you do not understand.

Thanks for your comment, but do you really think that the person who has now bid £920 for this item really realises that its JUST A PICTURE OF A PLAYSTATION 5, AND NOT THE ACTUAL GAMES CONSOLE??
We'll see, but I think not!

It's disgusting. I've seen one photo (description states you're buying a PHOTO NOT THE CONSOLE) since others aren't understanding your question at £700 and £10postage. For a photo. Sickening

[davidk1614]

Its now up to £2557!
Something very dodgy going on there!!

The listing is eBay item number:133587101438 if nobody believes me!

As pointed out, from a buyers point of view, you can`t lose because of the money back guarantee, unless any buyer is dupped into paying via bank transfer, but in any case, if someone is prepared to bid these crazy sums without reading the description, then they have nobody to blame but themselves, likewise with a bank transfer, which the banks will have no sympathy with AT ALL!
