not sure where to put this really!

I'm looking on ebay for some old jods for the yard. Don't know about you but i'm put off by the fact that some are scrunched up or just laid in the middle of crappy mess. Also i hate when the pic is really dark, eg someone forgot to turn the light on etc!
People expect you to buy their things, but make no effort to present them at all!

Especially lazy when people want you to fork out for an expensive item like a saddle, put a £500 buy it now, and take ONE bad picture, with no detail about size, age etc!

Another thing is that i'm actually put off by people "modeling" their clothes! Do they just want to get in the picture or something? Does the human come free with it?!

Some people still buy it, and i suppose that's fine if you really want the item, but it's like people have no presentation skills when writing an add!

I'm only a teenager, and when i sell online, i always make sure i've included everything. I always put a picture of the actual item, yet some peeps can't be bothered and just want to flog you their c***!

Sorry, over reacting alot, but wonders if anyone else feels the same?!
 
Well there are lots of numpties out there !

However I've made some good money buying and selling saddles on eBay, because I can present them better and take oodles of good pictures

So I'm pleased some people are c*ap at selling as I view as an opportunity!
 
Did you ever see the thread on here about the manky old horse rug that someone was selling on Ebay?:D

I sell things on Ebay and always try and get a decent picture of them and describe the item accurately. Seems to work for me, generally I sell things and get good feedback too!
 
I see rubbish ad's all the time. Ones with rubbish descriptions etc... I just don't buy the item - their loss for not selling the item well.

Plus I never even bother looking if there isn't a photo.

I always have trouble taking photos - no matter what light I use, I can never get the colour to show exactly.
 
it drives me mad! why try to sell a saddle or rug without putting a size/width etc!! do these sellers not take 5 mins to sit and think of all the important info. Ive sold a fair few items on ebay- always made good money- i like to think this is down to well worded ads with all the correct info present and decent photos- if you cant be bothered then why do they bother listing the items!!

:mad:
 
I bought a rug for my pony from e-bay and it arrived still covered in poo from the previous wearer! the sender seemed most put out that I was'nt happy
