I vaguely remember a 6 page thread concerning this very seller something like a month ago. Emails were sent, but he never really did anything but tell us he sells lots of them.

Ah yes, good old search:

I wonder how many fish are sold per 'aquarium' he sells 'cos they wont last long with 4 weeks worth of water in there. People who believe wrongly that it's ok to do this would probably just go out and buy a new replacement betta and think nothing of it -_-

We went through a short phase here, where we searched ebay for the worst possible betta homes. A memorable 'aquarium' for me, consisted of a BROKEN wine bottle, GLUED upside down to a piece of wood. It held about 4 cups of water.

Another one consisted of an ivy bowl on top of a terra cotta pot with a tray on top of it, arranged in such a fashion so as to appear as though it were a gum ball machine. Lots of those on ebay, that seller is quite prolific.

I encourage people to be polite in whatever emails they send sellers. Irrational emails don't do a thing for your argument. They'll just shrug you off as a troll and move on.
