    Why is it that eBay no longer includes questions asked about the auction item? Is that function now controlled by the seller?

    The seller has to check a box if they want the question and reply included in the auction...it's not included by default any more.

    I just read the newest Ebay policy, part of which states:

    A provision has been added stipulating that in some cases we may refund part of the cost of an item to the buyer, and receive reimbursement from the seller, to cover differences between the item described and the item actually received, such as items received with small parts missing or minor repairs needed. Buyers may be asked to provide written proof from an authorized third party detailing the cost of such repairs. In these cases, we will not require the buyer to return the item to the seller.

    So lets see, I buy the "lens" for 150 bucks. Then claim I needed 400 dollars reimbursed because the glass had to be replaced?

    Just a guess maybe. The bidder has the same lens with good glass and beat up barrel? But just as likely an idiot.
