In the US, there are strict rules about truth in advertising already in
place. However, I suspect that in the UK, as in the US, this will not
apply to sellers on ebay who are selling odd items and not an entire
line of products.

I think her description at the bottom of the page is correct:
machine-made lace copying "Blonde" bobbin lace
which means that the headline description of
"vintage bobbin lace" is incorrect. Those two descriptions cannot both be
right!
I don't know about USA, but here in UK advertising on the web will soon be subject to the
same controls that media advertising is, which means that it should be "legal,
truthful, decent and honest". see:

There's an awful lot on Ebay that doesn't meet those criteria!
