Item not as described

[duck---dodgers]

So if an item is listed with pictures only and the title is purely what the item is eg: vacuum cleaner, toy, chair ,etc can the buyer claim money back because of item not as described when pictures showed what it is and the seller just states what the item is called?

Probably the very same people who never read the listings anyway.

I recently came across a seller in US - and for the life of me can't remember what I was looking for - so can't find them again.

But - not only that they didn't have a description in the listing - just stated to look at the pictures.

What they also stated is that they don't want buyers who "nibble bid" - I think that was the term.

Anyone with less than a $5 bid - their bid will be cancelled.

I happen to remark about that to a very good friend who lives in US - and she told me it's becoming very common request in the listings: 

Don't bid  tiny ammounts, they'll will be cancelled imediatelly -( as bidders like that go on everyone's nerves - not to mention that any auction would have to last 5 time as long to achieve any decent money!)

Did anyone notice the same happening here - especially those who are browsing through Ebay all the time.

I must admit the only thing I don't like are listings with 99c start - they should be abolished!

Never bid on them for the fear that I might be the only bidder! That would make me very uncomfortable.

I don't know how you could stop nibble bidding, here at least, but maybe it is different in the US eBay system.

Here if I bid say $50 on an item, it will only increase when a second bidder bids, in increments as set by eBay, until it reaches or surpasses my original bid.
