    Talk about deceptive...It took me three times to finally find the catch.

    Well, good info is always worth the money but I think this guy could keep it to himself.

    On these kind of descriptions I prefer Ctrl+F and "only". Always gets me right to the point.

    The old saying ,"If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is", applies here I believe. Whenever something seems way cheaper than the norm 99.9% of the time there is some kind of catch. Greed is a powerful weapon on ebay.

    That actually sounds like a pretty nice item. What does it sell for? Anyone know how good it is?

    I guess you could argue that the seller DID say 'please read the entire description' both at the start and end of the paragraph but he's still a you know what for doing it.

    At least it looks like he got booted due to it.

    I'm sorry, while normally I would totally agree...this case is 100% different. It took me a few times to get it myself and normally I can catch a scam right off the bat. He's being WAY to deceptive about this and purposely made his description hard to read.

    Yes, if it says at the beginning that you are bidding on info only and someone pays 200.00 for it then they deserve it...all the way...but this one takes the cake for being deceptive.

    This seller will burn in hell.

    You can tell he just copy-pasted thedescription and randomly stuck that "only information" thing in the middle. What an ass

    What an ass.

    Although I have to laugh at the one guy who actually won one of his auctions...

    "I will never buy from ebay again cause of you I paid 203.50 for a peice of paper"

    That's got to be a painful lesson to learn.

    a couple things are interesting at the end of the item:

    Shipping is FREE!!! This might have been a clue.

    and his Seller's payment instructions & return policy:
    "PLEASE PAY ASAP payment not received in 3 days will result in negitive feedback / serious bidders only thankyou"

    further confirmation to me that he obviously intended this fraud to occur. he needed money rightaway.
