Sarah Dobbs shared on Twitter her experience of being duped by a "switcheroo" while attempting to purchase a Porg toy on eBay.

Sarah Dobbs experienced a stark reality check when she unboxed her Porgs stuffed animal, only to discover it was nothing like what she had expected. Instead of receiving the charming and lovable creature from the Star Wars franchise, she was greeted by a stuffed animal that looked like an odd mix of an owl, a hamster, and a penguin. This surprising outcome left her feeling disappointed, as the product did not match the delightful image she had envisioned.
