You know this reminds me of the XBOX 360 scam that went around on eBay, did anyone hear about that? People were saying that they were selling an XBOX 360 and then in the descriptions they were saying "This is for an XBOX 360 box." Because of the demand at the time, people were seeing buy it nows for what was considered cheap at the time and then afterwards realized their mistake when their "XBOX 360" box arrived that they just paid $500-$1,000 for.

I wouldn't be surprised if the winning bidder actually got a manila envelope as others have speculated in this thread and unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Even the "dont buy fake fast passes eBay advice seller" mentions this possibility in their listing:

...Er, maybe they've just sold envelopes, or stickers, or park maps (a DEAD GIVEAWAY that you're out of luck in getting a refund if anything goes wrong...

You'd think eBay would have your back over such an obvious scam but they don't. There's a possibility that the scammers will get away with it especially because the auction's description does say "This auction is for a manila envelope." Because in the end, as long as the seller sends them a manila envelope, they're in the clear.

It isn't right, but it happens.

Yeah... Ebay is the worst when it comes to sites policing themselves. I know JK Rowling has repeatedly asked Ebay to stop sellers from selling fraudulant autographed Harry Potter Books. Her people have even sent them the names of sellers they know are ripping be off and still e-bay does nothing and takes no responsablity for itself.

Quote from the eBay listing:
Of course, there's always the less ethical scenario of going to Guest Services and claiming to have a sick or handicapped member of the touring party (apparently these scammers like to say it's a child, probably for the sympathy value), and then obtain a number of these passes via that perfectly noble method.

If this person knew what he/she was talking about they would know that Guest Relations does not give what is being sold on eBay to guests with a disability. Guests with disabilities, or parties with a guest that has a disability, are given something else that they can only obtain through Guest Relations.

I'm not defending the sellers of these tickets in anyway, don't get me wrong. I just want to make the point that if you are going to try and accuse people of something, get the facts straight first. Even if what they are doing is wrong.
