I have almost done that a couple times when looking at eBay. The seller has it listed as HO scale and at first glance it may look like HO. Once you take a closer look or take a look at the box it is pretty easy to tell. If I am feeling nice I usually try and message the seller as some of them have no idea what they are selling.
When I worked for a hobby shop we had a guy come in that had ordered from Trainworld and was complaining about their service. He had ordered an HO scale diesel and they sent him an N scale steam engine and were refusing to take it back because the number he had ordered matched the n scale steam engine part number. I kind of felt bad for him but made sure to explain our return policy and that if he had ordered through us he would not of had this problem.
