eBay: Bait n Switch?

I have been bidding on earbuds for my kids. They seem to crash and burn a pair at least every couple weeks... and sometimes we go thru 3-5 pair a month. Well, that was BEFORE I stopped buying them for them. I was finding them some places for $3-$5... that can get ridiculously expensive when you end up buying them about as much as you buy toilet paper. Then I remembered eBay...

Anyway, I bid on an auction for some cute earbuds that looked like legos were attached to the cover piece. A pair of red, and a pair of blue. Both looked like legos, both from the same seller. winning bid was something like $1.04 each, free shipping. From Singapore or something?

So I get them the other day, and there are 2 sets of phones, and they are red and blue... but they DEFINITELY DO NOT match the picture. They are like flat blue/red things on the back. No attempt to look like a lego at all- not even block like. They are completely flat. My kids didn't know the lego earbuds were coming (they were surprises for the prize box), so it's not like they are let down in anyway. But I'm kinda annoyed that it's not the cute novelty item I thought I was gonna get.

How would YOU leave feedback? And no, I don't feel like shipping them back- because I'd end up paying more shipping than it would cost to just buy 2 more sets of eBay.
