Neal,

Hmmm... well, we criticize buyers who use misleading wording or who sell fake stuff as the real deal because what they are doing is illegal (possibly) and unethical (definately). They are trying to intentionally misrepresent something in an effort to get money - they are actaully trying to rip you off.

Now, regarding sellers who maybe don't know what they have or list something too cheaply... to me, it is the seller's responsibility to know what he or she is selling. If they want to list something that's worth $100 with a $10 BIN, that's not my problem - they set the BIN, which implies that they would be willing to sell the item for that price. I'm just paying them what they wanted for the item.

I don't really see one being related to the other at all... one is an effort to defraud a buyer, and the other is simply paying the price which is being asked by the seller.

Just my take...
