same ad multiple times under different names but obviously same seller. Ad is misleading and confusi

How can anyone buy anything off eBay? There are items I really want to buy, if they work as advertised, but the ad says one thing, then later it says the opposite, and there is no way to get the seller to clarify! I submit requests to seller on different ads, and the same message come back "seller is out of the office until 3/22" Well it's almost 3/23. He also says "please do not leave bad remarks," well I intend to as this obviously is some sort of scam! How do you complain and get eBay to do something about this seller? The product is a mini security cam. The ad shows a battery and says it can record "up to 7 hours when fully charged" but later in the "included" list, there is no battery. Also it says it can start recording by motion sensor, which should mean it's not recording most of the time, and should extend battery life greatly, but it shows wifi. I don;t want to use wifi, it also records to an sdcard. But when it says record continuously, then it shows sdcard. Can it record to SDcard using motion detection? That should enable long battery life. But how quickly will it start once motion is detected? How long will it record? there is no security if it won't record the start and continue until there is no one in the video. I need answers, before I can buy this, but there is no way, and it really looks like a scam! How does eBay handle this? There is something obviously shady about this.

Also how am I supposed to see any reply from the community? It apparently does not come to my email, or does it? If it does, then I can find it. If not, how am I supposed to even find the answer? How to get back to my question? If it doesn't come to my email, I cant even see your replies to this inquiry! This is crazy!

If the seller does not respond to your questions, you may need to find a different seller.

Ebay cannot force the seller to respond.

If the seller is "out of the office" until 3/22, be aware that it is still 3/22 in some places in the U.S.
