This is a vent only, no questions to be answered. There are a lot of great sellers on Ebay, but some of the newer ones, ARGGGGG. I research what I want, then hunt for it. One picture was full of mistakes: said it was embroidered - not. Said it was Japanese - not. Wrong box for item with wrong title, didn't fit the picture at all. Seller did correct one wrong thing, but never changed the lovely (sarcasm) AI description, it is still full of mistakes. Another item I bought, I was going by the title and description with the pictures. Then I realized I missed something in the picture that changed the whole description and time period. Seller nicely refunded me (I would have returned it if not) but the seller was very knowledgeable and sold very similar items and those ones were correct. A mistake? Who knows. Then another item I purchased - title correct, but there is that useless AI description again...just fawning how it will be a beautiful addition to my collection and how it will upgrade my decor. That is NOT a description!!! It is boring mindless drivel repeated over and over now in some seller's (uninformative) descriptions. I find now, with AI, sellers don't even bother to mention flaws. Flaws can easily be missed in the pictures. Ok, so I can send an msg to the seller and ask.. yep, I did just that because I saw a chip in an item but AI description said it was great, no issues! And the seller said no chips! Things can be missed, but not on glass. If you can't see it, most of the time you can feel it. Use a magnifying glass to make sure. I am a seller on another platform and I point out everything to the best of my knowledge so I don't have to waste my time or the buyer's time. And sadly, then there is greed. I know a seller can sell for whatever she/he wants, it's not my business. But when I find the same item going between $20 to $200 that's too funny. Then it's depressing for me to find the exact item I want, and the price is 3x what the same item went for months ago, but I missed out. And my fav, the same item listed as 1950s, 1960s, 1890s or just plain RARE. These sellers are just guessing as to some items particulars and hoping some uneducated buyer will come along and be blissfully unaware. As long as they never find out the truth they won't be disappointed. All this happened within 2 days. Right now, I am depressed. I bought an item and missed a flaw in the pictures. Description from seller (AI) never mentioned a thing. Part my fault, I should have msg'd but like one seller, they could have missed it (not very likely having the item in hand) or lied. Being Canadian, the item is a lot more expensive due to our low dollar value. And I have a rule, I don't buy chipped items. But, to return it 'not as described?' Don't think I can since the description never said anything about it's condition. I only discovered AI descriptions a couple of months ago. It's been a real education. I think I will go have a little cry over my wasted money.
