eBay

...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.

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 .........

As a matter of fact I love listing like this.

It's all in the crust.

Hell is empty. And all the devils are here.

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

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.
