They call that pulling a fast one.
Haven’t had that problem yet because all the limited editions I want are several years old.
I’ve bought from Discogs a few times now but I’m still not entirely comfortable with having to rely on it for vinyls. Last time, I specifically requested a cancellation from the seller before shipping cause I had found it cheaper on another site (or so I thought, but turns out that site was accidentally advertising something they didn’t have in stock) but instead shipped it out and added next day shipping because he didn’t notice the invoice until a week later because he was on vacation. Then he told me send it back for the refund, but by then I realized the other site didn’t have it, so I kept it.
Wasn’t the color he advertised either. He advertised it as yellow, which is rarer, but he never even opened it. Turned out to be the transparent red that was sold at Hot Topic. But that’s ok because I ended up liking that one better.
