    I've reported it as a misleading title: He's not selling 'Mayfair' he's selling a picture of a piece of paper.

    However as the process does not allow you to add any text for explanation I wonder if the ebay muppet that deals with it will be able to understand what's wrong.

    Yeah - a lot of people sold playstation 2 boxes (with nothing inside) so their pictures WERE accurate.

    I've reported it as fraudulent - that way, you can add text to your message to eBay, rather than just an item number. This is what I put:


    The listing is fraudulent - it's only a PICTURE of the item that's for sale. Highlight the yellow 4pt font at the bottom of the page; this yellow print is impossible to see, or read, without highlighting, so most people will be taken in by it.
    I only exist in my own mind - if you can see, hear or read me, you are a product of my imagination.

    From the POV of reporting it to ebay it's not whether the picture is accurate it's whether the title is accurate.

    The title says he's selling Mayfair.

    He isn't.

    Misleading title, soliciting off ebay sales, take your pick.
