The woman listed a picture of a phone on ebay and got $467.

I bet she didn't expect Judge Judy to rip her a new asshole for it.

wow... she got fined five thousand dollars for sell $500 photo. A real pwnd.

That is a good reason why I prefer buying something in my own country. It will be easy to sue a scammer's ass over a ripoff in homeland.

You understand that, though right? $5000 is the maximum you can be awarded in small claims court, which means if she was legally allowed to award higher she probably would have!!! :lol:

That made my day!

That video was all over the news though the Internet (I googled). Because of this, she just got EPIC WWW PWND!

$5,000 isn't joke. It's real! Lawsuits are really scary.

[edit] hey, my signature came back!

ROFL, it's amazing what people will sell on eBay. :)
But did she actually clearly state in the auction description that the item being bid on was a photo of a phone?

I've come across a few legitimate auctions for Terranigma game BOXES. Yep, that's right, they actually say "This auction is not for the game itself, just the box", and yet they're still trying to sell it for say $50, it's insane. :lol:
