Re: Buyer beware as usual on ebay

I agree with you, on this.

I had a similar experience while looking at a lens for my Canon camera.  Just as you mentioned, there are several different Canon products, with slightly different variations of names.

I too, emailed sellers about their listings of a particular lens and the images they included of the lens. A couple of sellers emailed me back and thanked me, changing their listing or removing it.  I had a couple that got downright nasty to me when I requested an image of their lens for sale to include the large end, where Canon often labels the model particulars.  One assured me that it was as listed, but refused to provide an image showing the label info.  I emailed the seller back and again pointed out from the images he posted, that lens was different than what his seller listing info provided.   Seller refused to provide what I requested, so I moved on to other listings.  Moral is be educated about what you are looking for, so you know the specific details of the product you're interested in.

Byer beware is very wise advice.

Mike
