Nice of you to come and visit... ;)
It's clear that the seller knows the fish will grow large, and so should the buyer: "HI, you are bidding on a 15" Red Tailed Catfish this fish can grow up to 4 feet in lengh very nice fish and good condition". I think the seller is quite optimistic about the price, but ho-hum. I think a quick search will get you one for more or less free - especially if you come and pick it up and bring your own net and tub...
You may want to send a message to the seller, but I doubt e-bay themselves care very much - there is nothing DIRECTLY misleading in the advert.
From what Jools says [I think he subscribes to e-bay adverts with "catfish" in the title], RTC and other larger pims are quite often sold on e-bay.
I'm moving this to "speak easy", as you are not really trying to help sell this fish, I think.
