He was left devastated when he received a photocopy picture of the laptop instead of getting an Apple MacBook.
Adding to the insult was the photocopy picture was not even a color one(sic.)
The man wanted to start a business.
He wanted to be a wedding DJ and needed the laptop to make it download the appropriate software.
So he sold his precious surfboard to pay for this venture into uncharted waters.
He toldthe UKs North Devon Journalthat he sold my pride and joy for a piece of paper.
Hed been a member for a few years, so there was nothing to be suspicious about.
The package was as light as a feather.
Why bother sending a picture in a box?
It doesnt make any sense.
I almost had to laugh.
An eBay spokesman said: We were very sorry to hear about Mr Barringtons unusual experience.
Well check that he gets a refund as soon as possible and investigate the circumstances around this sale.
I understand the seller in Barringtons case has been suspended by eBay.
The question is whether this seller will take on another e-guise and do it all again.
In e-world, trust is the one thing that can never be guaranteed.
