I bought a pair of huggie earrings which I received today.
The earrings were listed as small huggies and the rest of the description was fine. The photo of the earrings on the sellers page looked normal to me. When I opened them they were so small they wouldn't even fit a baby's ear or a dolls ear.. can this seller be caught out for false advertising as it is obvious the photo has been enlarged. So bloody angry!!

That wouldn't breach any policy!
You can also post the exact title used by the seller, which can often help responders here to be able to offer some more insight.

I think that would help.
At the moment, we are not sure what you mean by 'small'.
You've indicated that they are so small that they would not even fit on a baby or a doll.
(Assuming they are for pierced ears) is the post long enough to fit through an adult ear?
If not & if they were advertised in women's jewellery, then I think you could have a case of not as described because if they are earrings for babies or small dolls & would not fit a woman or young girl, I'd expect an ad to be clear on that.
But if the post & backing is an average sort of size & it is just that the huggie design itself is much smaller than you expected, then you probably would not have a SNAD case as they would indeed be 'small huggies' as described.
When someone is selling anything like earrings, they do tend to get up close to the item when taking a photo, so as to show the detail. Without something else in the photo to give perspective, it can be hard to judge actual size. I do think the seller was a bit remiss not to put a ruler, coin or cm measurement in the listing. Technically it may be an item exactly as described but it is still a poor ad by omission.
