I've seen it too and I don't understand why the seller isn't able to see how suspicious it is.I've seen tables where they had dozens of medium sized T's of the same species with a bunch labeled as females and a bunch as unsexed but not a single labeled as male. Kind of suspicious if you ask me.
Like you, I want to trust people, but it is getting increasingly difficult. I have had an issue with two lately - my B. albopilosum and my P. imperator - both being sold as confirmed females and both ending up males. The scorpion isn't such a big deal, because their lifespans are pretty much the same (plus, I have heard that males are often more docile), but the tarantulas are a big deal. I want to believe that it was a mistake, but it is getting more and more difficult to give people the benefit of the doubt.
