    Well, maybe someone should tell him to add the right pics but I'm not sure the issue would be solved. Strange and weird at the same time.

    This is what happens when a Barbie collector decides to sell coins...

    So the photo I see is the "coins" I get?

    Since the seller is in Israel, I just reported the listing to eBay.

    So do you hate Israelis or something?

    And if he wasn't from there you wouldn't have reported? Not sure how is the location relevant in this case.

    I don't hate anyone, not even the Iraqi people, many of whom I was firing rounds at during the war.

    The point I was making is it appears that English is the seller's secondary language with the grammatical, and syntax errors in their description.

    He could have been from Vulcan and I still would have reported it.

    Read post #9, all is clearly explained.

    Yeah, I'm kinda wondering the same thing here.

    I know I shouldn't poke fun at the seller, it's just an upload mistake. It's not like he/she is trying to sell off their daughters or something. Nevertheless, if they are going to sell items (coins) that are in our field, I would like them to take the time to do it right.

    Upload mistake? He has 27 items with that same picture. How do you make the same mistake 27 times? There was no mistake. He intentionally put that picture there because here is another listing by the same seller that there are no coins pictured but "the photo you see is the coins you get!!!" and he has this one listed 17 times. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DUMMY-LOT-W...6092297?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item1c2bedd989

    I didn't look at his/hers other listings. Many mistakes...

    Awesome!

    Yeah, not just an upload mistake, maybe misfired batch of items in some eBay oriented script/software.

    "Foreigners" selling on eBay will need to take care of a lot of things before they can make any money, I`m pretty sure they can read and understand English. There is also Google Translate and alike, so I`d say it is safe to use the "Ask a question" option on eBay.

    He describes them as circulated. That's just sick.

    Regardless of why you said that, you have still committed the logical fallacy of non sequitur.

    The "sequitur" in this case, I assume, is that seller location is outside USA, which automatically means no English skills and inability to communicate.
