It says albino mallard

I could be wrong but I think all albinos have pink eyes. That duck in the photo didn't look like it had pink eyes so my guess is you are right.

Yes, albinos have pink eyes due to a lack of melanin pigment.Leucistic animals generally have dark eyes with a lighter color on their body due to the reduced pigmentation. The duck in the picture has the curly tail of a mallard but the head and overall body does not seem quite like a mallard to me. I would love to see a true albino duck or chicken for that matter.
 
that is an albino mallard when they say albino there not talking genetically they just mean the color of the feathers
 
I have an albino mallard. She is in my avatar. Her eyes are pink and the colouring in her bill,legs and feet is from carotenoids, not pigment.
 
That looks like a white mallard to me. Can't see the eyes too well. But what I would also be careful of is that fact the person has 2 reviews...both from the same person...in the same day.
I would email the seller asking for more pics.
