Looks totally normal till you click on the pics in the description figuring on seeing bigger scans.

Safe for work, I won't spoil the surprise.

Pretty odd, I've never seen anything like it.

Weird yea. Probably using them as a web host for pictures............If I got the same thing you got.

Seller probably has no idea that's an issue.

Is it just me or can you not even see a bigger image on a closed ebay listing. Used to be that you could pull up an old listing and then enlarge the image, just like it was when it was a live listing. Now, you can't enlarge the thumbnail once the listing is closed.

So, what if I'm a buyer and I get an item in the mail that is creased or some other way different from the image in the description. Now I can't even compare the image in the description to the item I just received. Oy.

I know they are selling all of the ebay history through other markets and now they are taking it one step further where you can't even see a recently closed listing as it was just moments before. All you see is the first image in thumbnail form. Not even any additional images added. Bogus!

Yes, and even while current "enlarge" often gets you an image smaller than the thumbnail. I've taken to saving the pictures and often the entire auction page until the stuff arrives.

I'm wondering how I can get my cable company or someone to pay me for hidden ads ?

This is really strange. As the winner, you used to be able to sign in and click on a 'print' link, letting you save the description and all pictures as a pdf file. Now that option no longer exists.

Anyone able to still get the 'print' option?
