You really cannot trust the descriptions or the photos, and having a dialog with the vendor before bidding does not often help either (they usually say their description is correct).

There are a lot of eBay stores that buy and sell just about anything. I often see stuff advertized that is obviously not what it was listed to be. I think you have a lot of people buying things at flea markets, garage sales, etc. then reselling them, and in many cases they honestly don't have a clue what they are reselling. They could figure it out if they used Google and a few brain cells, but they obviously don't. As someone already posted, when buying a Kindle via eBay ask for photos of that specific item and especially of the ID plate on the back.
