Get a load of this!
 

How stupid do other people think ebayers are? $150 for plans to build a table... including $50 in shipping! If you read his feedback, he doesn't even ship paper copies, he e-mails them... all I can say is wow...

$100 for the plans and buy your own $75 worth of materials? What a tool.

and more...


This guy's raking it in... AND he should be shot. He mentions the word "plans" one time at the end, and nowhere in the title. As shole.

p.s. AND $50 SHIPPING! What a prick!

No kidding! A guy gave him negative feed back for being "decieving" in that regard. Charge $50 for shipping and then just e-mail it.

When reading all the auction information I think it's very clear this [censored] knows exactly what he's doing. All the mention of "all sales are final" and what not. What a jerk.

I sent eBay an email about this ad.

Totally absurd! Some people have absolutely no morals.

Re: Get a load of this!
 

I think it should be considered fraud, and none of the bidders bound to their bids. If he's emailing the plans and his ad says:
"Shipping costs: US $50.00 - UPS Ground (within United States)"
The sad part is, they don't realize they've been screwed until after they pay and he "ships" it to them. Of course they should read the whole thing and also check feedback before bidding, but he's being intentionally vague and misleading.

peace.

You know, I almost wanted to blame the stupid bastards buying the stuff too. It's not like the add doesn't clearly say you get the "plans" in great big letters. However, the shipping thing is just too much for me to handle. I mean, come on. How big are these "plans" if they cost $50 to ship UPS? They must be the size of an encyclopedia set or something. And then the dude e-mails them...

Let me know what e-bay has to say about it. My guess is that he'll be warned about the shipping thing or forced to change it. He's being intentionally deceptive but beside the shipping thing I don't really see anything "illegal" going on.

Here\'s how to screw him
 

Step 1: Create a new ebay account

Step 2: Bid the table up to 33 thousand dollars

Step 3: Don't pay the prick

Step 4: Laugh heartily that he had to pay the insert and final value fees when you don't pay his sorry ass (do you know how much the final value fee is on 33K? I don't, but I'm sure it's pretty high, heh heh)

p.s. Be sure to do this from a public computer and use an email that can't be tied to you (i.e. create a new yahoo or hotmail account or something)
