People, ebay is an online auction house. The rules of the Auction house are they present the product, you decide how much you want to pay. Now blatant mis-representation is illegal and immoral but listing something for double what its worth isnt either of those things. Why is a Rothko worth $40 million? because thats what someone paid for it.....
