Isn't there a way to notify eBay that the seller is misinforming the potential buyer?

No longer car shopping...
your mis-reading it guys

Guys, the ad states "delivered via Mercedes VIP program". It doesn't say anything about being a "VIP" model. Only that it was DELIVERED via a VIP program. Maybe he should hae stated Renntech's VIP program? However, I agree that his ad is a little mis-leading. He states that the wheels in the pic are available for additional $'s. That's stupid. Who's gonna shell out a buck and a quarter and stand there and get ripped for an additional $4K when the seller should have simply sold the entire package as displayed. I bet you a c-note that he will be re-listing (or editing) that one.

I'm gonna throw up that this car is a fake. I mean sure it could be a real person who is extremely misinformed and an idiot and can't find a picture of his/her's car. But i don't know.
