Don't be duped by this seller...

markakis8 · Jan 27, 2009

I got duped by the seller. My own fault, I admit, I didnt read the body. I paid, put my tail between my legs and accepted defeat. Most of his titles are VERY misleading. Then to top it all off, I was in a rush leaving feedback and didnt put what I wanted to!

I had planned on leaving positive but typing "very misleading title" in all caps or something.

I paid $6 for 5 Milestone base cards #'d/150, thinking I was buying 400 of them. I took the most expensive ones of course.

This poor chum is paying at least $12 for 5...

He does it with football cards as well.

What a dick.

Pretty amusing comment, Mr. Mandawg, considering the image in your tagline.

I really wouldn't call it misleading, his description in the body is pretty clear.

Bingo! The OP should have read the auction description....the seller has positive feedback on multiple auctions with similar titles.

I wasn't duped. I read the auction description and it seems pretty clear to me.

Yeah but I was able to tick you into taking off your pants last night!

That's a whole different kind of duping.

I think you guys clearly know what the seller's intentions are. Like I said, I didn't put up a fight b/c it was my own fault I didn't read the body. I admitted that. I even left him positive feedback.

If you notice on some of the other positive feedbacks, other buyers are thinking the same thing.

It's basic reading.

In regards to the other buyers...it doesn't seem like those intellectuals are a crew you want to be associating with.

in all honesty, the auction is pretty straight fwd. these type of auctions are very common nowadays

Resident Bay Fan · Jan 27, 2009

I've run auctions like this, but I also put "pick 5" in the title, and clearly state in the description what cards you get to pick from as did this seller.

I thought it was against Ebay policy to have these type of auctions.

Actually that is called doping not duping. Did that drink taste a little weird last night?

ChasHawk · Jan 27, 2009

It's pretty clear in bright red ink, "you get to pick 5!!!!!!!!"

Even if I'm only buying a $5 card, I read the auction thoroughly, and if there's something I don't understand, i ask the seller. If they don't respond, I don't buy.

pujolsjunkie · Jan 27, 2009

I'm with the OP. The intent is definitely there to mislead, at least a little.

This is what I was thinking as well.

Although I like these types of auctions. They're really useful for set builders.

fengzhang · Jan 27, 2009

I don't think the intent was to mislead. If you look at his feedback, you can see that he has run plenty of auctions with "Pick 5" in the title. This was a case of him running out of characters. I think he only has 1 character left. Anyway, he clearly wrote (in red letters no less) what the deal was in the description and you should've read the description. Case closed.
