You wouldn't suggest he is gloating? Then why has this been posted in the first place? Clearly to take the piss out of the person who is probably going to lose the money. Yes, it's fucking idiocy to actually pay that for a box, but if there wasn't a chance that it would happen, then the op wouldn't have done it.

Your description clearly states "iPhone 3gs black 16gb box no accessories no longer needed." buyer expects an iphone! PayPal will rightly side with the buyer.

tbh, clear or not clear, its a c*ntish thing to do.
You quite clearly are not looking to make a few pence from the box, but simply setting out to decieve someone.

There is a big chance that they will side with the buyer. The buyer will expect the iPhone and the box, but no accessories. Hope that's a neg for you, unlucky

Haha, what the fucks up with people on here??
It clearly says 'box' in the title and description, so obviously the buyer is bored and probly wont pay or he is thick as fuck and cant read.

You must not be too intelligent either if you can't understand why people aren't too impressed by it? Do you need me to spell it out for you?

It also says IPhone in the title, just as much as it says box. People are going to assume it's a boxed IPhone. eBay will definately side with the buyer.

at a quick glance it does look like its just an iphone that comes in a box with no accessories.

Whatever idiot has bought it should suffer for being an idiot. Maybe it could do with a comma in the description but apart from that, would buy a phone when there isnt even a pic!

Looking at the listing again, you will get done for it by paypal/ebay, as its been listed in the phone w/o contract section, if it was under accessories you might of got away with it

Its acctualy funny that you think you will get away with it. Dispute and then they get there money, maybe you will get bad rep off the buyer. Also you must be skint to use these methods to make money hahaha

I agree. It'll hopefully teach them a lesson
Does clearly state that its just the box. "No accessories".

Depends on how it's read ie: You could read it as "iPhone 3gs black 16gb, box, no accessories, no longer needed" which suggests there is a phone or "iPhone 3gs black 16gb box, no accessories, no longer needed" which shows it's a box only. If Stan used some punctuation in the description then there wouldn't be a problem, but leaving punctuation out makes it very misleading and unclear on what the seller is actually selling.
Either way eBay usually sides with the buyer, but by all means give it ago. Worse that'll happen is that you'll be asked to refund and get neg'd.
