i really dont think they are depending on ebay to sell the panting, just a way to show it off.

But they did an absolutely horrible job in that pursuit. If you REALLY want to just show it off...there's all sorts of media venues today. Hell, they could fork over $10 and give the picasso it's very own domain and website, then tie in a You Tube video complete with purdy fashion model spokesperson, etc.

It looks...cheap and tacky...not a legitimate art dealer. I can't imagine Sotheby's or some other high end art gallery tossing up a listing like that. If I was trying to create buzz with a million dollar piece of art...I'd be embarrassed over that ebay listing. Seriously...if they are trying to create an image that they handle million dollar pieces of art, they should have a listing that looks like they handle million dollar pieces of art, not something that looks like it originated on a kitchen table in a trailer park.
