I disagree. Yes, it is their fault if they buy without doing their diligence, but that doesn’t make the deception any more ethical. In the online world that we all depend on, one bad customer can spoil a whole lot of others. If that same customer(buyer) decides you deceived them, they will spread that message and you’ll find yourself having a little more trouble selling the next site.

You’ll run out of suckers at some point.

“It’s an excellent way to inflate the price, and, I think that if the buyer made a decision based on insufficient details, that’s their fault” - Couldn’t have said it better myself.

As long as no lies are told I don’t think its unethical. It’s up to the buyer to decide if they are going to bid or not.
