I was looking at an ebay auction that's a little misleading, the listing looks like it's for a motorcycle, when it's actually for a wheel. It's already over twice the full retail price.

It's a given that the auction winner is going to be pretty pissed off when he discovers he bought a wheel at several times the retail value, but at the bottom of the page it clearly states that it's for a wheel only. Will the buyer be screwed out of several thousand dollars? Is it really that simple to scam a buyer?

Probably best to report it, its just like those xbox boxes, or the brand new 2013 ferrari 458... car cover.

Sure you can scam people but since ebay defends the buyer most of the time they will get their money back easily.

Without seeing the listing we can't tell who is being annoying. Plenty of people show the picture of a vehicle to sell parts off it.
