Why does ebay allow sellers to list a item for sale with pictures and description, then add a pic of something completely different and worth a lot less and the price they advertise the "Main" item for is the actual price for the Extra (cheaper) item they have put a picture up of (if that makes sense). I am finding lots of items like that, the price advertised is not the price of the item they are selling in their title and main pics. Dont ebay realise that kind of behaviour puts people off buying on ebay ? I myself gave up as I refuse to buy from a seller who has deceived me to visit their sales page by advertising a lower price to get the views, when you visit their sales page you have to select the advertised item in the title and main pic from a dropdown menu and you realise its a lot more expensive. I went through so many items like that I gave up and went to Amazon to buy the item, and at a cheaper price with no sellers trying to deceive me to visit their sales page.
