Should we beware of this ebayer?

Hello
I'm not sure if this is something that should be of concern. But found it kinda alarming and/or lazy.

Check out the pic and title to these 2 auctions:
Jesus Montero Silver Ice 2012 Bowman RC Short Print | eBay

Jesus Montero Silver Ice 2012 Bowman RC Short Print | eBay

and

2012 Bowman Prospects Silver Ice BP17 Tyler Austin Yankee SP RC | eBay

2012 Bowman Prospects Silver Ice BP17 Tyler Austin Yankee SP RC | eBay

or

2012 Bowman Chrome Prospects Refractors #BCP59 Daniel Corcino /500 | eBay

2012 Bowman Chrome Prospects Refractors #BCP59 Daniel Corcino /500 | eBay

Looks like jessec918 just copy and pastes images/titles from other auctions. Is this just common practice or cause for concern. I just found it weird.

I search for completed listings and usually copy/paste listing titles for ones that sold higher. Unless its a more specific one like "Jeremy Lin 123/149 auto #49 12/13 hoops." For most cards I don't really see an issue with it.

I mean there's only so many ways you can list a card without going with "jeremy lin card!?!?!!$&@ SP Silver!!! Auto not gold MJ Kobe shaq Taiwan Yao"

sometimes people do the sell one like this option and forget to change some key details (serial numbers and photos). and sometimes they are doing it to be shady. Hard to tell but I would avoid it personally.

thanks for the input. I forgot all about the sell one like this option. I dont use that option but that may be how it happened. I guess now I know why many images have people's Id on them.

thanks again

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. It's either the seller being lazy or doesn't have a scanner.

I mean this is an autograph (where the auto could be varied) or a low #'d insert, these are common cards (even the refractor #'d/500)
