It is certainly a Photoshop trick by looking at the distance between frets. The gap between fret#5 and #6 has been elongated and produce quite an eye-catching "mandolin / lute". I bet the seller told the buyer the truth in this case to avoid mis-representing the product.

Same discussion on the recent thread linked above. I contacted the seller and received a few more photos of this instrument. I do believe it is real but that it was an amateur luthier's aborted project.
