i know his description tells otherwise but this is a dangerous practice as some people may buy it without reading the description

Anyone that looks at that listing and thinks they're getting what's in the picture it a complete idiot. The title and the description completely contradict it. It's crystal clear, that's not what you're getting.

Don't know why he uses that pic? That's easy, he's lazy.

One of the things I remember from the old days is that the listing title, description and picture had to match what was actually being sold. In this case it obviously doesn't. The listing is misleading and might fall into a search and browse manipulation policy violation of some type.

Reported it but I doubt if ebay will do anything. We shall see.

with Western sky here. I doubt anything will be done, it's misleading in every aspect until the disclaimer is read in the description. Crooked as a creek, and a good one to stay clear of.

Oh my Lord. You've got to be kidding me?

Title: canadian coin lot Crystal Clear

Description: this photo is not what you are buying this is just a photo I use just when selling coins you will get the following canadian coins, 7- $2 coins, 5- $1 coins, 12- .25 cent coins, a total of $22.00. Crystal Clear

Listed in category: Coins & Paper Money > Coins: Canada > Collections, Lots Crystal Clear

The description also explains the picture extremely clearly.

There's so much bigger fish to fry on ebay than scrutinize a listing that is crystal clear and only a complete moron would misunderstand.

I sincerely hope that no one here seriously thinks this guy is really attempting to deceive people, that would make me sad.

Agree totally with Bobby on this one. But a recent survey showed 6 in 10 have problems with reading comprehension any ways. I certainly see no problems with the seller. People just go looking for stuff like this because they have way too much time on their hands.
Way more problems on ebay than this.

Yes...The Seller is 100% wrong as it is against Search and Brouse Manipulation policy to mislead with inaccurate pictures of the item being sold:

The following is straight from the ebay Best Practices for Sellers playbook.....

=====================

Pictures

Including pictures in your listings helps buyers decide whether to purchase your item. Always provide clear and detailed pictures that truly represent your item so there's no confusion about what you're selling.

And remember: Never copy or use someone else's pictures or logos without their permission (see the images and text policy).

Allowed
Pictures clearly showing the item for sale

Not allowed
Including unrelated pictures to try to get people to look at the listing

Picture of an item that isn't for sale. For example, selling a generic MP3 player but showing a picture of an iPod

Pictures that don't represent your item

=======================================

Looks pretty cut and dried to me that the Seller is clearly violating the established policy..... especially the very last part about "picures that don't represent your item"!
