It's not only Ebay folks where items are misrepresented!

A buyer needed jackstands - this is what he received.

LOL ... how about this one from the River ... a desk lamp for your hamster, maybe?

There are soooooooooo many complaints about that site, and yet people still keep buying and buying and buying. It's ridiculous! I fear for our society if people are truly that stupid.

Without seeing the actual ad for those mini jackstands, there's no way of knowing whether they were misrepresented, or the buyer did not read.

Well now there's classic misleading advertising.

Hairnets are not chemical free......

On that site there IS no "description" What's in the title and photos are all you get.

One wonders what kind of jackstand set he thought he was going to get for $1.99 ~

Well there's that as well. LOL You get what you pay for and commonsense would tell you "not happening".

I'm trying to decide whether people are just gullible, or plain ol' stupid. The needle is tipping more and more toward stupid...

What would you need jack stands that tiny for though ?

No I don't suppose they are . I think the intent of the advertiser was to let men know they wouldn't be using hair spray . tulips
