As far as I'm concerned, calling this "undisclosed information" is probably too generous.

Personally, I was far more intrigued by the broad legal disclaimers imbedded into every listing description -- not the least of which was the explicit waiver of all liability or indemnification. It's attempting to, and likely does, force the buyer into a binding purchase agreement with terms that clearly benefit the seller and the seller alone -- totally removing any possible legal remedies the buyer might later have. That is a little unsettling in and of itself.

Any thoughts as to what eBay's ultimate position would be with a situation like this? I wouldn't want to be left in a situation where I was waiting for eBay to come to my rescue -- with anything of any importance -- but particular something as potentially messy as that.
