Woman Accidentally Includes Nude Photo Of Herself In eBay Listing, Listing Goes Viral
A UK woman’s eBay auction for a yellow ASOS skater dress has gotten well over £150,000 in bids, thanks to the accidental nude she included of herself in the original photo of the dress and the listing’s subsequent viral circulation. “#ebayyellowskaterdress” even trended on Twitter in the UK for awhile. Her original asking price was £15.99.
A mistake like this seems impossible to make — so implausible, even, that some people have speculated that this whole thing is just an extremely clever marketing gimmick for ASOS.
Looks like she’s already removed the page, but after the listing started going around, she did some damage control and updated the image with a photo sans nudity and added “#ebayyellowskaterdress as seen by thousands. never worn naked.”
