Looking through Ebay and found this and on a closer look the highest bidder will buy a 'description' WTF? Should I contact ebay?

Dude, did you trace that, from a distance off a diagram drawn by a blind man using his feet from the description given to him by someone that could only use English quotes from the movie of 'Grease'?

it is not a con as it says that "Please note, you are bidding to purchase the above description only" but the picture is misleading. but who would bid on some words on a piece of paper.

a Missleading add not a con.

Unless he means the described bike because the bike in the picture is not his.
i.e the bike described above is what you get and the pic is to serve as an idea.
Either way report it.

tbh the bids are probably himself, which is why hes chosen to hide the bidders names

This sort of thing was on Judge Judy the other week. 2 women bought mobiles from someone and got sent 2 pictures of the phones. This needs reporting me thinks.

All those components follow from this "the auction is for the following:" therefore are included in the auction.

not really, it's quite clearly stated that your only bidding on the description, not an actual bike.

in very much the same way someone payed $500 (iirc) for an xbox box. if people are dumb enough not to read the ad properly its there own fault. specially seeing where for ever being told to be careful about information/purchases from the internet.

T-XC · June 2007

people do that all time. someone brought a moped for œ2000 and it was a postcard and he did not read the small print like that one that it was a postcard it is not a scam that you should report they r selling a description thats all but i feel so sorry for the person who has bid on it lol
