Super, I've seen that same image style used on Amazon. Apparently, it's supposed to show the relative size of an item to a "normal sized"(?) adult. Given Yahoo's limits on the number of posted images, it seems like a waste to post it.
Then again, maybe they have the problem many eBay sellers have with people who buy toys or miniatures and expect them to be life size.
