agreed with judge judy..that girl and her hubby need to be taught a lesson

The problem is it's just a TV show and didn't cost the slime bag a penny and obviously, she was not embarrassed.

While I don't agree with the ebay sellers practice, I don't think putting "This is for a PICTURE ONLY" in the description and then having someone actually buy it is "scamming." Mean and immoral, yes. I remember when the PS3 had just launched and people were selling domain names and explicitly stating they were a domain name. That isn't scamming.

It is, because every other peice of the auction makes you think you're bidding for the real thing.
 
Wish I could slap Meg Whitman with a big, fat trout. eBay seems to be fast becoming an online cesspool, what with the random and massive suspension of sellers, account info hacking, unjustified VERO notices, sucky customer support, double-dipping of fees (final value AND funds transfer PayPal?!?), etc.

The one and only redeeming quality of that place are the dumb folk who get into pissing contests and pay insane prices for items.
 
Nice to see a POS scammer go down. It always cracks me up how those kind of people feel totally justified with their actions. She even says at some point, "she got what she deserved". The scammer actually believed that she deserved the money!

However, this is a good lesson about why you read the fine print before bidding on anything.

Great. Maybe I can sell my house with all the specs (number of rooms and bathrooms, size of house, neighborhood, street address, etc.) and pictures, put it all in an ad, and put "picture only" in small print at the bottom.

What? I'm not scamming people. It says so right in the ad. :roll:
 
A complete verbal disembowelment, well deserved. I hope the local DA files charges too,
Have her spend a few months in county for an "attitude adjustment" as well...

just proves that judge judy isn't a real judge and thank god for that.

She is a real judge, albeit a retired one.

she is just an arbitrator if i remember correctly.

correct, they're not actually judges but rather glamorous arbitrators.

Wikipedia says:

Sheindlin, who was born in Brooklyn to a Jewish-American family, attended American University in Washington, D.C., graduating in 1963 and then went on to New York Law School, receiving her law degree in 1965, and practiced family law for many years in New York, before being appointed to the bench. Judge Judith Sheindlin's career in family court began in 1972 prosecuting juvenile delinquency cases for the state of New York.[2] In 1982 she was appointed to the bench as a Family Court Judge by Edward Koch, mayor of New York, and was promoted to the rank of Supervising Judge for Manhattan (New York County) in 1986.

wiki also says:

The show features the former family court judge Judith Sheindlin, Esq., as an arbitrator hearing small claims cases with an award limit of US$5,000, the maximum in most U.S. states.

while she was a judge she is now just an arbitrator
