How would something like that get into a listing? I am a bit clueless about the white on white thingo, but I have heard of it but never understood it.


It's just a matter of changing the font colour of the text - like this, but to white so it's almost invisible. Most eBay pages are off-white though, kind of a pale grainy grey, so it's still a little visible. 

 

Edit: It's generally not allowed, mostly because it's been used by sellers to add in "invisible" terms and/or keyword spam - obviously not the case here, though.
