What a P*** taker. Ive reported this as it really is a joke.
Unbelievably, the ebay person i spoke to was as big a twat as the seller, look at this extract here,,

Anne
I understand where you are coming from, Tom. Perhaps, you think that the seller is suspicious?

ME
apart from that what are they selling? its a joke and is currently the talk of a lot of forums as well as other things on ebay at present. This one tops the bill.
Anne
I can see that it is the only item that this seller is selling as of now.
Anne
If I get you correctly, do you want to report this listing?

YES!!!!!

Eventually i got so frustrated i asked to be put onto someone else who concluded,

Irene
We really appreciate your time in bringing up your concern to our attention. Rest assured that appropriate action will be taken on the seller's account which may lead to removal of listing immediately, warning, restriction or worst is immediate suspension on their eBay account.

Jeeeze, what morons!!! This buyer needs to be banned outright.
Unbelievable. [Confused]

The item is probably a drinking implement with the word " M U G ! "
written across it.

Lets face it,though,if anyone was foolish enough to fall for this, they deserve everything they won't get.

over two hours since i spoke to the greedy clowns of ebay and they still havnt taken it down.

Although this has nothing to do with film I think eBay allows it to be ridiculous after all they do make a cut of the sale

In other words it will only get worse over time

Chip's link says he has had two firm bids, but only shows as BIN. Definitely getting worse. Just when you thought you had seen it all , something else comes along.
