Mr Clatworthy received the photo in the post on Monday, saying: "They'd written on the back of it 'thank you for your purchase'. I was fuming."

There was a slew of these incidents happening when the 360 released. People buying what they thought was the console but either getting the box or a pic of it.


READ EVERYTHING!!!

Despite the listing stating it was a photo of an XBox One Day One edition console, Mr Clatworthy said he'd expected to receive the console as it was listed in the video games and consoles category on eBay.



he should get no money back for being a moron.

I've quit selling on ebay because as a seller that sells a few items here and there you can get ripped off by buyers.

I know someone who was scammed similarly because he didn't read the listing closely. he thought he was buying an air purifier, and the listing said box only. He actually lost the case because the listing was accurate.

But the description clearly said it was just a picture....

I would assume 4 year olds couldn't play Fifa.

I'm sure he picked up Ghosts for his 4 year old as well.
