I don't think Lionel had any idea that the seller would read this ng
when he posted. His original post was asking advice as to what he
should do, and not to publicly humiliate the seller He didn't identify
the seller at all in the origianl post. So, it was the seller that
"went public", not the buyer; and that's when the post got interesting.

BTW, it is morning now, and the seller hasn't posted the photos back to
the auction site yet, as he said he would.

Yes, that's correct.

You can compare the photos from the ad (white background) to photos of
what the lens looked like when it arrived at: <http://lo.ve.ly/ebay/>.
