What is the weird "fisheye" pic on so many items?


What is the weird "fisheye" pic on so many items? Seems about ½ listings have this limited view.  Why would you post this way or is it related to the Featured premium price?

Change to the "classic View" on the upper right hand corner, just below the yellow line and you won't see the fish eye view. It will become your default.
@dill650,
That is correct. Unfortunately for people who do not store the cookies in the cache, they have to change the settings every time they log into the site.
Perhaps the dumbest thing ever seen on a site where people pay to sell stuff.  I would be fired if I ever came up with something that intentionally degraded the look of my web site like that.  
William, I guess you missed the design change. That "peephole" or fisheye effect is placed on every private seller's photos. Everybody hates it. A "classic" view was created due to pressure from members.

It in no way enhances sales, in fact I believe that potential buyers have been lost due to the change.
