    It gives me no pleasure to say this, as I do enjoy busting on clueless sellers as much as the next guy... but ebay is increasingly a part of this problem. Ebay's current selling interface encourages sellers to "lift" titles from existing auctions to create their own new ones, regardless of whether the quality of both items is remotely similar. So a seller like this could be grading their POS book VF-; lousy grading is obviously a problem that's existed as long as ebay has been around. But it's also possible the VF- grade hitchhiked over from a previous listing's title.


     

    Good point. I list using the app since it's much faster and you are guided to find a similar listing to base yours off. Then you have to go through and edit everything the previous user entered, which can be entertaining.
