How in the world does anyone fall for this any more? Seriously, this lame scam has been a favorite on eBay for over a decade. Yes, there is a picture of the guy.
Here's the ebay listing of the item, if anyone was curious: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xbox-One-Fifa-Day-One-Edition-Photo-Brand-New-UK-2013-/271339968555
The only indication that it's for a photo and not an actual XB1 is found in the title of the listing.
Here is the real issues. Ebay will continue to let this guy and others scam folks. Nothing will be done but the refund. Ebay makes money no matter what happens or what is being sold. They got it so good the hit you with two charges, one for Ebay and then one for Paypal.
Deceptive auction description. Anyone who has bought a newly released item on Ebay expects a photo to confirm product is in hand. Blame the scammer and not the victim.
I would like to be the first one to call for the most communist idea ever to be instituted.
The parental aptitude test.
If you fail twice you get your breeding bits fed to a random carnivore at the zoo.
You make a valid point.
Communism is usually supported by a dominate party government as that's really the only kind that can reliably enact the level of changes communism requires, but a highly informed democratic/republic government using communism is quite viable as communism is like a set of policies to remove things such as class, not anything in direct opposition to democracy.That's the opposite of communist. A communist government requires as many dependent voters as possible so they would WANT the dumbest people to procreate and create thousands of low information voters to help keep them in power.
Its more or less scientific fact now that the genotypic average IQ as a global average is declining, since the least intelligent tend to have the most children and visa versa. Likewise, the advent of modern healthcare means that the genetically weak can still procreate and in fact are quite prolific.Let's not revisit eugenics. It didn't go well last time around.
Humans don't follow modern evolutionary theory, hasn't been true since man lived in caves. You even say so in your post that social aspects change stressors, so why say it's how evolution works.Its more or less scientific fact now that the genotypic average IQ as a global average is declining, since the least intelligent tend to have the most children and visa versa.

Look at the Belgian Blue breed of cow. They are ungodly muscular, and yet its completely natural genetics accomplished over a very short period of time by always breeding the most muscular of cattle over several generations. In short order you have super cows.
Humans are just mammals like any other, and likewise if you have a breeding program in which those of least intelligence contribute greatest to the gene pool, its absolutely unavoidable that future generations will be less and less intelligent.
I don't think that anyone truly believes that eugenics can improve the health and vitality of the human race, but the problem is who is in charge of quantifying what is and isn't desirable. So its not the concept of eugenics that is the problem, we know for a fact we could selectively breed smarter healthier future generations with proper selection, its that we don't have a government we can trust with running such a program.
But without it as societies safety nets with social welfare and Obamacare and the like increase while dumber and dumber people have more and more children, decay of the gene pool in the absence of "survival of the fittest" is unavoidable. Its how evolution works.
BTW, Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, and even inventor of your favorite corn flakes breakfast treat were all staunch supporters of eugenics, yet people act like this was some idea that only Hitler supported.
Yah, I got burned for $500 for a korean IPS paypal and ebay were zero help despite me having a no-loss case.
This is what is sad about most americans is they are just use credit cards and create more debt they will never pay. I am one of only all I know that actually own my home, cars, computers etc with no credit debt. Sadly america is going to be shut down soon by china and russia etc.
Sadly you can't even click the link or read the thread to find out this guy is from the UK and seller is UK.
Nonsense, evolution is the progression of a gene pool to promote traits that lead to highest reproduction.Humans don't follow modern evolutionary theory, hasn't been true since man lived in caves. You even say so in your post that social aspects change stressors, so why say it's how evolution works.

Who am I? Where do I come from? Is this physical body all that I am? Is there a higher power? Is there life after death? Are there other beings in the universe asking the same questions?
I think these questions form the basis of the human soul, the human spirit. As a result we developed science and religion. We are now in the time of Christmas, where one of those great religions recognizes the birth of the Son of God as a man bought here to save man from himself. I think this is what makes us fundamentally different for other life on this planet, at least to our current ability to recognize. Indeed the human spirit resists classification, specification and being reduced to a genetic pattern.
Humans aren't exempt from evolution no matter how much people try to deny it. The fact that allergies and general "problems" are becoming more and more rampant are the early warning signs that we cannot continue to sustain the weakest being allowed to "out breed" the strongest. The reality is the "Strong" and bear in mind I refer not only to physical strength here, developed religions to control the weak. Unfortunately that is not starting to backfire as the practices put in place for control are going to be our genetic undoing.

"Xbox One Fifa Day One Edition, Photo Brand New UK 2013"
While it may not be illegal to try to fool people into buying something other than what they're actually getting, it is a despicable behavior.
You idiots the auction title is wrong:
"Xbox One Fifa Day One Edition, Photo Brand New UK 2013"
it doesn't say it's a photo, it says it's a Xbox One Fifa Day One Edition and that Photo is Brand new. The idiot seller worded it wrong and commited fraud.
Let's not revisit eugenics. It didn't go well last time around.
