Perusing ebay and I run across two "ocean jaspers" by the same person. They claim they are the best OJ on ebay.

I’d disagree.

Ah, no. Looks like leopard jasper and bristlecone pine forest oolite to me.
Edit to add - If you are going to be an idiot and get one wrong, might as well pull out all the stops and get them both wrong, lol.

I really hope they are just wrong and not deliberately ripping newbies off. Because I try to see the good in people, I have to think they are just misinformed, that it is not an attempt to rip people off. Maybe when they list a material for sale at a price lower than they should and it gets snapped up quickly, when they lose money, they will learn to better identify what they are selling. Eh, or maybe not.

Did you message them to educate them on their mistakes?

By any chance, did you look at what else they had for sale? One possibility is they once had ocean jasper for sale and reused the old ad with the leopard jasper and updates didn't stick. Some people are better at rocks than technologies. I work for an old tech giant and am still "in the boat" that online stuff confounds me sometimes. About this ad, all I can say is thank goodness for pictures. However, it does make me wonder what they intend to ship - the pic or the description. LOL

Did you message them to educate them on their mistakes? No, but I did look into reporting a post. Apparently, and oddly, there is no way to report such a thing. Nothing in the drop down menu choices was appropriate.
eta- I just messaged them.

I like to think that people are not out to scam people and just may not know Ive sent many a courtesy messages and most of the time people responded with a thank you.. I did that once and as I think Greig said, they just forgot to change the wording when uploading new photos. (As I myself have done when posting new listings)

I've done the same many times. They are a new seller, so I'm thinking they don't know any better.

The seller was very receptive and thankful. They changed the titles, descriptions and prices.

I really was hoping it was a mistake versus an intended misleading auction. Thank you for taking the time to contact them and educate them. That was a super nice thing to do.

I'm SUPER happy it was not a ripoff artist. He seems genuinely lost. Rocks really aren't his thing. He said they were sold to him that way and was just going by that.
