Why?
We will see the true character of the seller when and if he hold the buyer to the contract.
Ability can get you to the top but only character will keep you there.

This being the buyers fault is a rationalization to make yourselves feel better about your own lack of integrity in your past personal dealings.

Not saying this is the cae here, but as an example. An HONEST man does NOT take advantage of others...

Ah, Chris .... you know that kind of thinkin went out of style when we stopped sealing a deal with a handshake. 
Getting to where you can't trust anyone these days. I have never bought anything from ebay for that simple reason.
I would feel relatively safe buying something from the DTR classifieds (from a seller that I recognize as a regular) but never ebay. Just my .02

If the person that bought that thing could actually read and comprehend, he wouldn't be the disappointed owner of an empty box right now. 'Course, the seller leaves a bit to be desired here too!

There's nothing wrong or illegal or unethical about selling an empty box. U-Haul does it all the time; they just sell them cheaper than this guy did.It's a lesson about greed and stupidity on the part of the buyer. He thought he was getting over on someone who was selling an Xbox at far below the current market price, and he got burned because he didn't read the auction. Like it or not, people are responsible for their own actions, and I have no sympathy at all for someone who acts like an idiot and then tries to lay it off on someone else.
