Why do Ebay's job for them? People pay stupid prices for stupid items on
ebay everyday, you are never going to stop them all. At least with this
one, someone will only need to pay 99p to learn a valuable lesson. Always
shop around/research before you buy anything. This applies to buying things
online or buying things on the high street. The only difference is that
ebay makes it alot easier to throw your money away.

A simple search on google for 'sky FTV card' brings up information on the
'pout' method as the first link.

time

He is selling freely available information for a profit. I don't know if
eBay have a rule against this but they should do.

People buy newspapers, the content of which is freely available elsewhere;
should there be a rule against this too.

Ebay don't seem to care about anything at all, apart from being paid.
Rarely have I come across a company less concerned about its
customers.

I think that you've missed the point here. Ebay's customers are not the people
who buy things on the auctions. Their customers are the people who are selling
items. It's just like estate agents their customers are not the people buying
houses but those people selling them.

It's customers are the 'auction' owners, not the people who bid/win
the auctions

I understand that though the final customers are of course those who
pay. Ebay own Paypal and buyers using Paypal will be also contributing
to Ebay's coffers, with little or no security if anything goes wrong.

Without the bidders there are no sellers. Part of the Ebay vendor's
fee provides for "buyer's insurance", though Ebay always try and
wriggle out of paying up for anything.

What's the difference between Ebay auctions & small ads in a local newspaper? If
the priceless antique that your bought turns out to be a dud I don't see how
either Ebay or the newspaper are responsible for you ignoring the dictum 'caveat
emptor'. I do realise that Ebay does give a veneer of respectability to what is
little more than a tarted up version of flogging items through alt.x.advert
newsgroups. People should realise that it's just as reliable.

If the small ad is from a commercial vendor then you have some
comeback in that professional ads have to be accurate by law. I would
say that "buy it now" auctions are not auctions at all but simply
small ads and as such should be accurate.

Looks like a collector's item - no longer issued. 4/5th of them thrown
