Is it illegal to sell a picture of a coat on ebay but act like it is the coat itself?

I bought a coat and in the picture it says " Brand new detroit tigers jacket picture. Size is medium-large. 100% authentic. email with any question or more pics. Will ship ups or usps. ( $15 flat rate) Will ship same day. retails for $109.99" Now the seller is saying I bought a picture and not a coat?

It does say "picture" in the product description. You should read it more carefully next time.
as long as it clearly says it's a picture and not a coat, then yeah it's legal definitely unethical though be sure to leave bad feedback and warn others!
it definatly says picture...sorry, that sucks!
It might be legal, but is very unethical. Contact eBay and complain.
It said "Picture" in the title. Then, it's not illegal. However, it was deceptive. YOu should have asked questions before bidding. Now, all you can do is chalk it up to experience. You MIGHT try to file a "Significantly not as described" report with ebay. You may not win, but it's worth a shot. Have you contacted the seller? He MAY be willing to refund, but I wouldn't bet on it.
I would contact someone at eBay, sounds like a scam to me.
HOpe you paid with Pay Pal..you can get your money back! that is nothing short of deception...buy nothing on Ebay...the biggest ripoff place on the Internet.
