Aimi Jones, 21, posted a picture of her yellow dress to sell on eBay, without noticing her naked reflection in the mirror was also in the shot.

Looking back at her post, she saw her reflection and tried to delete it immediately. She re-posted the item, which attracted a bid of more than £153,000 because people had seen the first picture which had gone viral within minutes. Jones, who has the user ID sugart*t-2, relisted the dress with a similarly-posed picture but this time covered up in a dark Nike top.

The new listing read: ‘Asos yellow skater dress size 10, 2nd time round!! a MUST HAVE!!

‘As seen by thousands. Never worn naked. Needs a good home.’ Originally listed at £15.99, the dress has received more than 130 bids.

The picture brought mixed reaction on internet forums. One user commented: ‘It is a shocking dress’.

Jones, from Oxfordshire, told The Sun: ‘It’s so embarrassing. It is such a dizzy, stupid thing to do and now the whole world’s seen me in the nude.

‘I put it on eBay last Saturday morning and realised straight away so ended the sale. But what I didn’t realise was that people could still it on the site.

‘I reported it to eBay and they took it down, but by then it had gone viral. My boyfriend Andy thinks the whole thing is hilarious.’

Now the blunder has sparked a flurry of fake eBay sale ads for the yellow dress with fictional characters accidentally making an appearance.

Internet hit: Copycat hoaxers have posted their own versions of the original eBay blunder – but this joke ad featuring James McAvoy as Mr Tumnus in the first Chronicles of Narnia film only attracted a top bid of £9.50

A dress for all occasions: The eBay user also helpfully posted a selection of pics of Mr Tumnus showing the dress off in a variety of locations

Very versatile: It appears even fictional fauns can pull off the yellow skater dress with ease

 

Joker: Another hoax ad featured a slightly bigger seller reflected in the mirror but it didn’t manage to attract any bids
