I did one of those get 10 people to register with this thing and get a free Wii. I advertised on ebay and clearly stated don't bid on this and sum idiot bid 200 quid!
I was nice enough to refund his money but even then he still kept asking when he will get the Wii and I kept saying you havn't won one mate.
People really are thick
Ebays a gold mine for scams!!!

They display a picture which is not whats being sold, i'm pretty sure thats against the rules. Here misleading advertising is illegal.

It is misleading using the picture but the listing quite clearly states the auction is for an e-book. If people dont read the listing they only have themselves to blame.
E-Bay can be a perfectly safe way to buy things if you follow a few simple steps.
