You can contact the seller who has no intention of fixing his fraudulent description but unfortunately eBay provides no way to contact them to cause it to be fixed. I guess if they did then every ad would be challenged since they are almost always exaggerated.

There is an old phrase from
Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry, written in the year 1557 by Thomas Tusser that is phrased in today's English as, 'A fool and his money are easily separated'. While the original period specific English reads a bit differently, the meaning is unchanged.
Sadly, other than speaking to the fraud in forums such as this, the fraudsters survive to continue their misrepresentations. Frequently the best teacher is the actual experience where the buyer experiences the deception personally — it tends to be more memorable.
