Ebay really needs to require that sellers disclose, in the item description, the true condition of their items, instead of letting them get away with the 'see photos for condition' scam. I buy vintage tools (to use, not to hang on the wall) and IMO the majority of sellers know nothing about the tools they are selling, or are trying to get away with selling items with missing parts, or who mis-identify them. Photos are not enough, sellers should be required to describe completely the condition of their items. Photos don't show everything, a lot of sellers post bad pics, and photos are useless to anyone who relies on a screen reader. The majority of the time I don't get a reply when I ask about missing or damaged parts. Those sellers go on my blocklist.
