This person is accurately describing the note as a note with an "M" on it. There's no hint anywhere that it's an error of any kind, just an absurd price tag and some puffery about it being "rare." The item isn't being misrepresented [I]per se[/I]; it's just a worthless item with a ridiculous price tag. We see these types of things all the time on eBay, and there's very little that can be done about them. I would contact the seller first, and tell them what they have, then see if they'd like to take the listing down.
