Bad/incorrect item titles on Amazon - what the game?

my3cents

I clicked on this deal today for a Lenovo Ideapad 710s-13isk 13.3 "RAM HDD 256 GB 8192 MB just to see what it actually was.

So it seems to be a battery for a GoPro 3 or 4 yet no way would I get that from the title.

Is this some game that chinese sellers are playing and if so whats the point of it?

Could be a genuine mistake. As it is a battery there are restrictions, but I would imagine the item in the title has a battery too.

A scam could be to list something incorrectly so it bypasses amazons battery rules.

I remember on ebay another scam was to use the word NOT in a title. So you would look up ipod earphones and these items would appear, which were fakes or simply alternatives.

If I search

Lenovo Ideapad 710s-13isk 13.3 "RAM HDD 256 GB 8192 MB

in google I find an amazon.de link which has that title in google, but is corrected on amazon.de
