Sellers, if you're gonna be lazy and not have a description...

...at least have a decent photo.  I had a 15  year old keychain camera that took better pictures than this.

 

Seller's description (not verbatim) - buyer will be buying based on the photos.  ::sigh::  All 12 photos are like this. Smiley Frustrated

 

 

 

Sorry, but as a buyer it's frustrating. I have money, I WANT TO BUY, but I can't if you're not gonna show me what you have!  And it's happening more and more...and I'm spending less and less.

Oh wow...that one on the left looks like a greasy pizza.


I was thinking it looked like quiche.


Is there a difference?

Wow, this isn't just a bad picture. There is something about it. I can't look at it for more than 2 seconds without my head starting to hurt, like I am trying on some one else's glasses. I think this seller has actually weaponized poor ebay listings. 


Don't give them any ideas .........

I ran across a seller whose photos look like they were taken from a 3rd floor balcony...in the dark. Yet s/he sells a lot and has perfect feedback. Go figure.

Not good  ! Nothing ticks me off more than bad photos or incomplete descriptions . As far as  the sellers  of clothing  . IMO they're  just wasting their time  trying to sell  if they refuse to include the measurements . When there's so much competition  it's just  useless   not to include  as much  information  as possible . This morning I was looking for 20 mm earring hooks . I had to hit the back button  several times before I found a U.S seller  that actually included the size .  Tulips

I've actually seen worse - one where it appeared that the item was running away from the camera (a blur moving out of the picture) - so they really thought, 'yeah, that'll do fine'? chapeau -noir  -----------------

 

 

LOL ,, how about scattered clothing and toys on the floor   in the background ?  Or my own personal favorite   of  dirty dishes , beer cans and ashtrays full of cigarette butts .  🙂    Tulips

Re: Sellers, if you're gonna be lazy and not have a description...

For me the most amazing thing when I come across such listings is not only does the seller sell lots of stuff, but they have no negative feedback! I am guessing all that matters to the buyer is it arrives and it is what he expected.
