Misleading listing
I just asked a seller to send me a cancel transaction request, and they complied. I also reported the listing. The listing was for fragrance samples, and showed 12 different photos of the items. ( 370393482436 ) I won the auction, but something seemed a bit odd. I sent a question asking exactly how many items were in this auction. They replied 1, no comment, no explanation, just 1. This is a Top-Rated Seller with 1000's of feedback. I can't imagine using such tactics to mislead buyers into thinking they would be getting many samples. I should have been more careful, I know, but what about those really new buyers who would have paid, and then been very angry after receiving only a single sample ?|||I read the description, it did not imply that there was more than one. Pay up!My 2 cents. Never be afraid to laugh at yourself. After all, you could be missing out on the joke of century. -Dame Edna Everage (1934- )|||Did you read the word 'Samples' ? In my humble opinion, that implies more than 1. And you did not find 12 photos of different items to be a tad misleading ?|||I read the word "sizes." Those photos was of different items that the sellers has. Probably should not have that, it obviously confuses some people out there. But, I did read the description that is why it is there!My 2 cents. Never be afraid to laugh at yourself. After all, you could be missing out on the joke of century. -Dame Edna Everage (1934- )||||||I saw sizes and sprays, my use of the word 'samples' was meant to show the same thing. Gee, seems rather hostile to grill me and give the seller a pass !|||Gee, seems rather hostile to grill me and give the seller a pass ! The seller described the item accurately. Were the pics confusing? Perhaps. Was the description confusing? No. The time to read the description and ask questions is BEFORE bidding.||||||Item specifics Fragrance Name: TRUE RELIGION Condition: New Type: TRAVEL EDP SPRAYS Gender: Women 'AA'= ACCEPTED AT AIRPORTS: VERY CONVENIENT THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO TRY NEW FRAGRANCES! IF YOU LIKE IT, BUY THE LARGE SIZE OR MORE OF ANY OF THE 'AA' SIZES YOU RECEIVE! "AA" AIRPORT ACCEPTED TRAVEL SIZES Those are copied from the listing. Sizes, Fragrances, now can you see ?||||||Why the angst? Seller agreed to cancel (even tho they didn't have to). Auction might be a tad confusing to those who don't bother to read it all ... But seller did nothing wrong here. Frankly, you should have paid for your "item". Someone pass me an explanation and a Tanq on the rocks please ...||||||OP you need to buy your products in person....this isn't going to work for you. Seller was clear. You were wrong.|||As a buyer you need to be proactive in preventing any mistakes by reading the entire tos. Yes these photos, IMO, should not be there but other than that if you had read the TOS you would of known you were getting 1 and if not sure you should of sent the seller a message. As a buyer YOU are responsible for your bidding habits and when you find a listing that is confusing, ASQ or hit the back button.This is a posting ID to help fight against AI or RLI. I have no agenda other than to express my opinion, which is just that, an Opinion.|||If the wording or pictures in a listing are inconsistant or unclear you need to ask for clarification before bidding.It may not be your fault but it is your responsibility Silver rule "do not do to others what you would not like to be done to you"
