The way the listing is done is very common. Somebody is selling something, and they may or may not know what they have, they may or may not understand the details, they may or may not read/write English well, they may or may not be completely and utterly honest, they may or may not...
There's simply no way to know.
As far as the accuracy of the details of anything, eBay would need a staff of experts on everything on earth to read every listing every day and send corrections to the sellers. And then read the auction again the next day to see if the seller made the corrections. And then email the seller again if the corrections weren't made, and give them a final warning/chance to make the corrections. And then read the listing again the next day to see if the corrections had been made, and then delete the auction if the corrections weren't made.
Not exactly realistic.
The best advice, if you've got the time on your hands, is to send a friendly, helpful message to the seller letting them know that they may have accidentally included a slightly inaccurate point in their description. I've done that from time to time. About half the time I get a very friendly reply back: "Thanks a bunch! I don't know anything about this electronicable stuff!!", about a quarter of the time I hear crickets chirping, and about a quarter of the time I get a rude, snotty reply from the tweaker who listed the item.
Life goes on.
Here's the bottom line on someone who has deliberately listed incorrect information on an item: eBay won't touch it. Now, I'm not talking illegal statements, I'm talking "wrong" statements. I know a bit about English sports cars, MGA's in particular, and I saw an auction for a "Extremely rare engine option!!!" in an MGA. What it was, in fact, was a car with the wrong engine swapped into it. I emailed the seller, and got told to buzz off. I reported the auction to eBay, and got a nice, personal response that made it clear to me why the responsibility for knowing the details of something rests with the buyer. The buyer needs to know what he's buying. The buyer needs to know the details of what Luxman models had what features and how many watts per channel, otherwise the buyer is taking chances.
eBay is 100% correct in staying at arms length, because if they didn't, there would be buyers complaining that eBay failed to protect the buyer from his own ignorance.
