While scrolling thru various listings (by other sellers), I noticed one that said "You can see photos of the set in the extended description". Clicking thru to the listing, then the extended description, showed me an external link (without actually displaying the photos). I was surprised that external links are allowed in the extended description. My concern is that there is nothing vetting that the external link is actually going to display an image, and my concern is heightened by this CVE: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-38171x While it has been addressed, not everyone may have applied the patches, and it did expose a (very cunning) zero-day exploit that affected lots of platforms.
