What are the legal ramifications of selling a non-existent product?
For example, in the book the 4 Hour Work Week, the author suggests testing business ideas by placing ads for the theoretical product and after the order is submitted, telling the "customer" that the product is backordered or something like that. To get even better data on purchase intent the business could also accept payment and immediately refund. Is this illegal?
Additional Details
OK, eliminte the route of accepting and refunding payment. Is it illegal to place and ad for an non-existent product? My guess would be no, since no harm has come to the customer and isn't proof of harm one of the foundations of business law?

Can you say "FRAUD"?

Marketing is immoral by nature. It's common to see the masters of marketing doing illegal suggestions. There's a short distance between marketing and crime.

No. The only way you can truly get in trouble is if you accept the money and/or involve a buyer's extensive time and feelings into the product and they later find out and then they could sue for fraud but highly unlikely. Who is to say that you were not going to obtain the product from somewhere else? It may not be considered "ethical" but there should be no real legal ramifications unless you take money or billing information from them.

Only if you get caught..

If you sell or take money for something that doesn't exist or for something that isn't yours that is considered fraud and is punishable.
