http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/05/man-pays-750-450-for-xbox-one-photo-in-ebay-scam

Nottingham, UK resident Peter Clatworthy, 19, mistakenly purchased a photo of an Xbox One via eBay in an unfortunate seller scam. He spent £450 (nearly $750) expecting to receive a Day One Edition, but instead received a faded, printed photo of the console's box.

Clatworthy told the Nottingham Post the seller had "written on the back of it, 'thank you for your purchase.' I was fuming." As a regular user of the auction site, Clatworthy didn't expect the seller -- whose feedback was universally positive, which is reassuring for potential buyers -- to mislead him. ""It said 'photo' and I was in two minds, but I looked at the description and the fact it was in the right category made me think it was genuine."

Fortunately, Clatworthy will get his money back thanks to PayPal's coverage of these sorts of situations.

An eBay spokesperson explained, "We don't allow listings which mislead, and will take action against this seller. Customers can shop with confidence on eBay as we guarantee you will get your item or your money back. Mr Clatworthy is covered by the eBay money-back guarantee and we will be contacting him to put things right."

Gotta read the descriptions carefully in eBay. Cats used to sell empty TV boxes but because the description never said the box came with a TV buyers were stuck. :pachaha:
