^ Think about it. The seller has done exactly the same as Wal-Mart; sold something at a profit. Can't condemn one and not the other.

Things are worth what people are willing to pay. Yep. Which is why God made Antiques Roadshow. |

I don't buy on eBay so I'm not concerned about ever getting ripped off, lol. My Dad does though - but he gets antiques and stuff and pays what he
believes the item is worth. Just like the OP did - she obviously thought the comforter was worth the money she spent on it, and now she's pissed because
she discovered it wasn't. If the comforter had been put in a plain generic box and shipped to her, I doubt she'd be on here complaining. So thereby, I
don't see the issue. Does it suck? Yeah, but it happens.. it's eBay.

that's the price for the convenience of having places to shop or that deliver goods to our door. Convenience is why the OP went to eBay. $30 is the price
she paid for it on this occasion.

That is so fucking awful...and funny. I can't believe she has the balls to do that. Ebay should change it's motto to "There's a sucker born
every minute, and TWO to take him!"

I don't blame you for being mad, Morgan. I don't care how it's spun; what she did was shady as all get out. |

My first thought was that you should have googled the item to find out the price. After looking at the ebay description, well, that is some shady stuff! I
would be pissed too. That really is just scamming people for money. I know the point of ebay is to make money, but still, I think if someone has morals/a
conscience they wouldn't do that. I would feel way too guilty to do that to someone! Also, feedback comments can be deceitful too. I've seen people
make multiple accounts or have family and friends leave positive feedback when it was all false.

If nothing else, isn't that in violation of Ebay's Seller rules about Intellectual Property Rights? She stole the pics AND the description straight from Walmart, which she doesn't have the right to do.That's ALL I'm trying to say! It's just the order of things! It can't be legal, right? :
1) List item for outrageous price. 2) Collect outrageous sum of money 3) PURCHASE ITEM FROM ORIGINAL COMPANY for super cheap 4) Be rich and fuck people in the ass. That ain't right. Now had she done THIS?: 1)OWN ITEM THAT WAS BOUGHT FOR SUPER CHEAP ALREADY 2) List item for outrageous price 3) Collect outrageous sum of money 4) Be rich and just a liiiittle bit slimy That's totally fine.

^ So what you think is off about this is the standard way the stock market works?
You may have a point.
