Default ebay pyramid selling!!!!! still rampant!!

I thought ebay were going to stamp out on pyramid selling!!!!

i did a search on the samsung d500, there are loads of sellers selling links

and you only pay £20 for your phone...

i followed on of the unlocked links, and its just pyramid selling to get phone,

in reality you stand about as much chance as billy liar resigning tommorrow!!!


the woring thing is the amount of people paying up!!!!!

Ebay should just ban any ads using links to purchase items full stop. Simple!

PLENTY.

If it looks too good to be true it probably is.
Exercise extreme caution on every/any transaction.
Better to walk away intact than go for a bargain and get stung.
e-Bay, contrary to the image they like to portray, do not give a stuff. If things go wrong do not expect any help or even interest from e-Bay.
Scammers know this so they are free to do as they please.
