Re: I Don't Get These Fake Auction
Nah, point is, people will bid on anything, so why should this be any different? In you're original post, you appear to have asked 3 statements...
how do people actually bid on auctions like this, i mean its so obvoius that its fake, i really dont undrestand how this is even allowed on ebay
wrt "how do people actually bid on auctions like this?" as well as comment about it being an obvious fake, that's my answer. If people will bid on all the other nonsensical auctions that have existed on Ebay, and can't find anyhing funky about a ghost in a jar, or buying a jar of air; then I'm not surprised people would bid on a product that hasn't come to market.
As to the third, this sorta thing isn't supposed to exist on Ebay, which would be reason for the removal of the first auction, I'm guessing? Didn't see it though so kinda hard to guess. But it probably comes down to something like this. If someone wanted to post something that was absolutely obsene and an utter violation of the TOS of this forum, they could do so. When a moderator finds it, they can delete the thread, but until then...
Given the overall size of Ebay, it probably does take them some time to find these bogus auctions, so I suppose closing them all down right away might not always be feasible...
BTW: Mafia's link provides a list that contains mostly chargers and other accessories right now... There are a couple phones on that page now, so I'll provide a link if it might make it easier. Can't say whether this will get closed down or not however...
