E Bay rip off

    I don't use Ebay but I'm sure a lot of you on here do,

    I was browsing around it today and I found this guy

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2258764778&category=10049

    selling tickets to the supposed "sold Out" Madonna concert in Slane for £137 thats over twice the price for tickets that are still freely available at face value for a gig that probably won't sell out.

    I tried to put some feedback on his site to warn unsuspecting buyers but I didn't want to go through the registration process (credit card details and the like) when I wasn't actually selling/buying anything.

    One of you registered ebay users might like to put in some feedback to stop people being ripped off

    You dont need to register ur credit card details..

    If someone is stupid enouigh to fall for the scan I say fair played to the boys who get away with it..

    He's asking for £137... sterling
    That's roughly €92... euros... which isn't far off the asking price taking booking fees etc into account.
    It's not really a rip-off.

    eh Kermette if you would like to point me in the direction of the Foreign exchange that will give you £137 for 92 euros I would be eternally grateful and I would also never have to work again ;)

    £137 is about 200 euro or so

    really , I was going to register and then it started asking me for CC details, it didn't appear to be optional but it may well have been, didn't bother after that

    You can report these scammer to eBay here:

    They're usually quick to take illegal stuff down once it's reported...

    if people want to buy them from them let them off!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    I couldnt post feedback on this either because i have bought nothing from the people responsible.

    best to report to ebay that it is false advertising on the off chance that they do something about it
