Fine and dandy then. You guys will need to educate OP on consumer act and how to lodge a report then.
But before you do that think about what your argument will be at the Tribunal... nothing is stopping the shop owner from buying the lens, clean the fungus off and list as dust and fungus free next day - and there goes your argument. If you as the lens seller think that the shop owner is talking bull, just say thanks and walk off. its the same thing when someone wants to sell you ubat kuat lelaki at the back alley - you will think he is crazy and walk off right?
Regarding honouring words - in the mudah/FB marketplace/carosell listing, tell me where in the T&C that says listings is contractually bound to be true and accurate. even the best companies will say in one legal jargon or another "to the best of effort" when it comes to listing products and services. I am sure a lot of us had this experience with sellers and not only with camera gear...
Let's go back to where your arguments got huge flaws - your initial post and your posts after that. You don't get it. And please stop adding new flawed points after points when you can't even back the first one up.

You said why butthurt?
People are sharing their experience. Not all are butthurt. And if people didn't know the seller behaved like that, some wouldn't know better. They would have been possibly cheated by the seller.
But here you are butthurt about ppl who are butthurt and some who decided to just make a mention about the issue.

Secondly you bring up the point it's not illegal. It is illegal if the shopkeeper said there was fungus to begin with, even if he had cleaned it, so the argument stays. The issue on proving whether the said item had fungus or not depends on one what one of the posters said.
I'm just saying it's illegal if that was the case.
So what happens to people that got cheated, none the wiser? Gotta have a minimum iq to buy a product? So it's ok to cheat people as long as you don't get caught? It's ok to pull an imdb as long as you can imdb photography products? If you did something wrong, you did something wrong and in some cases it's against the law, and there's that.

Thirdly you decided to bring another point in which is these online shops are "best effort in info". Well then, I just closed a pc shop with kpdnkk few months back for a bad listing, and if you're not lazy, you will find each tnc would say "not violating any law". And it happens to be the consumer act is a law. Act as a word doesn't just apply to acting in English mind you.
