Seems eBay staff are getting careless. On the "Deals of the week! (Offer ends 21st June)" page:

1. On the "Top Picks" row, Clicking on "Samsung LED 40" 40D5000" link actually takes you to "SAMSUNG UA32D5000 32" LED TV (Item number: 170654999068, Price: Rs. 35,500.00)" page.

2. On the "Top Picks" row, Clicking on "ASUS U52F" indicates that "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available." (Item number: 280695676828, Price: Rs. 29,500.00)

3. On the "Memory Devices" tab, Clicking on "WD 1 TB Elements 2.5" Rs 4,330" actually takes you to "1TB Seagate Goflex 2.5" Item number: 180681797572, Price: Rs. 4,550.00)

4. On the "Memory Devices" tab, Clicking on "1TB Seagate Goflex 2.5" Rs 4,550.00" actually takes you to "WD 1 TB Elements 2.5" Item number: 170655111279, Price: Rs. 4,330)

5. On the "Cameras" tab, Clicking on "Canon 550D Kit 15% off Rs 33,999" actually takes you to "Canon 550D Kit", Item number: 260801223945, Price: Rs. 35,990.00)

and a few others with a price difference of a few hundred rupees.

I think they are short on support staff too. No one was ever available on Chat, you have to wait a long time on Phone support too.

Ref: Sl No 5 above:

Maybe they've discovered the error, the price of Item No 260801223945 has now been brought down from Rs. 35,990.00 to Rs 33,990.00

The error has been there for at least 24 hours. Hope they fix the other errors soon.

I also found these type or errors and I think most of them are not erroneous but deliberate mistakes.
Like in promotional advertisement few products are having really low and affordable prices but actual prices are substantially inflated on the product pages.
I also feel that ebay is not directly responsible for these misrepresentation but its Seller who is responsible.
(I am sorry that i am not giving any evidence or link but you may find many examples on this site).
