Is this the same eBay seller, or did he just get the pictures from the other seller?

Question

I've been looking at iPods on eBay all day long and I saw an auction that uses the same picture I had seen in a previous auction the day before, except that auction did not sell the iPod.

This is the auction I saw the day before.

This is the auction I saw today.

Both auctions have the same pictures as you can see. Is it possible the seller has another eBay account since the account from the first link has 50% positive feedback?

When is it required to have the picture of the product you are selling next to a piece of paper with your account name on it?

Answer 1

looks fishy..get in contact with both sellers..the second seller hasnt sold anything since last year..and  like u said that guy has 50% feedback..and they are listed in the same city..it  looks like the guy is trying to see which one sells first (illegal on ebay)

Answer 2

It says 50% positive feedback in the past 12 months.

He only has 2 feedback in the past year.

It could just be a lazy seller who doesn't have any pictures of the product himself.  I used to do this when I was younger.
