Anyone else think the first picture is a bit wrong?

As title states. I was looking for a kilt for my child and I had came across this. There's something unsettling about this picture in my opinion or is it just me?

    Very much so - I can't see how to report it to eBay.
    There doesn't seem to be a link.
    The photo is very "Ann Summers", but it's children's clothes & sizes.

    Thank you Kim Kim! No way it should the picture like that be used for young children's clothing. Not sure how to report it either.

    The report button is just above the tab for postage. I've reported it as it is definitely only child sizes, which makes the photos a bit worrying.

    I'm viewing on the ap, iPhone. Maybe that's why I can't see it.

    To be fair in parts of Asia that is a trendy look for kids. I think it is a case of the seller not choosing photos based on the local market, rather than anything sinister.

    No reporting listed that relates to the pictures though? Not that I can see.

    Is a bit off, to be fair.

    It turns out different cultures do things differently to the imperial commonwealth homeland.

    True, however, they don't have suspenders on show though. I'd be seriously worried if i had seen a 10 year old dressed like that!
