I have bought factory service manuals for car and motorcycle projects off of eBay and Amazon. Multiple times, I received 3-hole-punched photocopies stuck in a binder or bound together with some kind of tape. Every time, I e-mail the seller, my only recourse is to spend my own money and ship it back and get a refund. Amazon and eBay both don't care, because the sellers just have to claim that they are authorized resellers. They made money off the transaction, so that's why Amazon and eBay don't care... end of story.
I don't buy anything anymore without an actual picture of the phyiscal product. I didn't pay $150 for a book so that some guy could photocopy it, I wanted the original, real deal book.
