India drops the bar on e-commerce seller's listings: You want to sell it? Tell us where it came from from then

An excellent move

Something we could well adopt here in Blighty, but it should go even further. Even trade supplier of goods price at several grand commonly present a photo of the item discreetly labelled "for illustration only" or in one notable case "representative or range" where the "range" encompasses devices with a five to one price range. At the low end we get statements such as "goods supplied may not always match description/illustration".

This used to be called buying a pig in a poke and it was in the past considered fraudulent to try selling like that. Now it's the norm.
