    Yeah they are stupid to pay $20+ for a link to a clearance website to buy broken XBOX's, but the fact you hide your feedback (but can't hide your percentile rating) and still try to make it sound legit is funny!

    Some people bid solely based on the auction title. If you had written "Info on how to get an Xbox console for under $30" and didn't have a stock photograph that would be a little different. He may have thought you were giving away an Xbox for $7 shipped and immediately snapped it up. People are that stupid.

    BTW, whats the difference between your product and the eBook pyramid schemes? If you're just filling out an hours worth of forms to get an Xbox why does it cost $30? I believe that the only good thing that can come from these schemes is that you can simply resell the retarded PDF package to other stupid eBayers to make enough money to buy a Xbox.

    Probably because you have the title Xbox Video Game System Console CHEAP!! with $20.00 buy-it-now or whatever & they rush to bid without reading the whole text inside the auction.

    I'm not flaming or starting anything, it just seems to me that you appear to be a scammer. Not as devious as some others, but a scammer nontheless. I've looked at your previous auctions & all your negative feedback... that tells it's own story. If you truly wanted to make sure people know what they are bidding on your title would be more along the lines of:

    INFO: HOW TO BUY A CHEAP XBOX ELSEWHERE

    But then who the fuck would pay $20 or $30 for that?

    Want to know how to stop PayPal taking your money? Close your PayPal acocunt before they try it.

    Well all he has to do is "fill an hours worth of forms" a couple of times a day for a week, and when the truck full of XBOX's arrives, we buy them for $30 each, and he makes a fortune!

    When some dick head in the US claimed he didn't know anything about my auction he had paid for with his PayPal account I removed the credit card from their system & there was nothing they could do about it. That was the only IOP I had on their system.

    Ryangassx: Obviously your entire intention with that auction is to rip people off. I would have thought you'd have more sense than to post here asking for help in retrieving scammed cash - that's an insult.

    Just because you done that doesnt mean they cant take the money back. They still hold account information my friend and they will take the cash form your acount.

    If that werent the case... send me $500.... ill send you £1000... Claim it back... no dint think so.

    you guys are nuts....

    oh, and the reason why i cant sell xbox's themselves, is because its kind of a one shot deal.. You cant get multiple Xbox's via this method.. Ive already gotten some stuff so im finished.

    Im done with this topic, its become a flame fest at my expence.. and a couple of you are just being stupid.

    Exactly.

    Why is your feedback hidden? Because you have multitudes of negatives for selling useless crap?

    Sheesh, if you're gonna sell info, at least DO IT CORRECTLY. I wrote the best description ever for my pal, and he managed to sell wholesale lists for $10 each. Made about $200.

    I didn't bother to do it myself though, 'cause it's kind of lame.

    Dude, no.... :smt009

    Ryan, come on, deny the Title is misleading.

    I'm not wearing my glasses and if it weren't this forum, I'd swear this is an auction for an XBox.

    I don't judge your character or anything, man. I didn't and wouldn't buy your info (or an Xbox for that matter).

    I may be very stupid for not immediately noting this is not an auction for an XBox. This doesn't make your auction not misleading.

    It's seven dollars. You didn't rip off the buyer that badly... but it could have happened.

    IF it's not really your intention to rip people off, don't sell like this.
    There's a mexican proverb that says something amongst the lines of "don't do good things that might look like bad things"

    It will just make you look bad otherwise, man.

    Peace.

    With my glasses on, I can perceive the "small" print is not that small, though, so it's also the buyer's fault for buying. But when there's small print to read... well. Stuff that's too good to be true probably is.

    But still, this title is misleading.
