Ummm, Ebay states when you place a bid:
This constitutes a legal contract yada yada yada... be sure before bidding.
The people bid on an item that stated it was a picture in the fine print, they signed a contract willingly and did not complain shortly afterwards (ebay will allow you to with draw bids). They accepted a contract and got exactly what they paid for, the kid deserves their money and they learned a lesson.
Personally I always read the fine print and any links to websites posted (especially ones that say: Terms and condition apply, see website) and take a copy of anything important. The kid posted a legal auction... so why should the police get involved.
