Sucks for him and it's good he got a full refund. But I don't buy the claim that the console was for his 4 year old. Why can't people admit it they like to play video games? I, thinking he thought people would feel the story more if he said it was for his 4 year old.
He had it all planned out I'm sure. He knew eBay/Paypal would rule in his favour so he wouldn't actually lose anything, and had the "young child whose Christmas is ruined" sob story to wheel out to the press in the hope of a free console.
Dude either played the game correctly or is a complete idiot:
Despite the listing stating it was a photo of an XBox One Day One edition console, Mr Clatworthy said hed expected to receive the console as it was listed in the video games and consoles category on eBay.
