I've thought about this, since it would be nice to be able
to have a way to let bidders know there's a problem with a
description (I've emailed sellers before and not one has
ever corrected a listing), but I'm sure this will never
come about as it would allow people to point out other
places to get the item, possibly cheaper, and eBay would
lose their commission).
