    Yes, its wrong...but...

    i can't see how anything can be done about it? Its not false advertising. It clearly states this is for a picture of the item...</p>

    However, i know i'd be f*cked off and it SHOULD be banned. Maybe eBay themselves don't read all the description of each item entered.</p>

    I'm not an E-bay user but.......

    Could the buyer not find out who the seller is during the shipping of the item?

    RE: Yes, its wrong...but...

    It does not clearly state it's for a picture though.</p>

    That is cleverly wrapped up at the very end of the description when a potential buyer is becoming very excited about the product.</p>

    It's sharp practice and deceitful. Why go to all that trouble just to advertise a picture, when price would suggest it's anything less.</p>

    It's the type of stuff that will eventually get Ebay a bad name. There should be a code of practice and sellers of this nature should be made to refund every penny and expenses later, and banned from future trading.</p>

    Is it possible to email the buyer - could point it out to them
