Buyer Beware! You're not getting what you're paying for...seriously!

I recently saw two listings on eBay, from two different sellers, for Rob's Fiddle Faddle that literally made me do a double take.  I couldn't believe that these two sellers who have feedback ratings of 4,764 and 2,684, respectively, would sell something that was so NOT Rob's Fiddle Faddle.  I realize mistakes in listings happen but when you list the same plant with the same picture multiple times is it still just a mere oversight? 

Here's a picture of Rob's Fiddle Faddle from the hybridizer's website.  The description, as seen in First Class is:  

Rob's Fiddle Faddle (7431) 10/06/1990 (R. Robinson) Semidouble rose-pink. Dark green, pointed, hairy, serrated/red back. Semiminiature

 


















Now lets look at the first "version" of Rob's Fiddle Faddle that caught my eye.  Hmmm?  What's different?  Wow, nice variegation...except...Rob's Fiddle Faddle isn't variegated!
















Lets look at the second "version" of Rob's Fiddle Faddle that caught my eye.  Wow!  It has the same variegation as the first "version".




















If you bought this plant from these sellers as Rob's Fiddle Faddle, someone owes you a refund as you did not receive what you paid for!
