OT- Opinons Wanted- eBay Listing Appearance

tschock · #1 10-26-2016, 10:55 AM

Personally, I don't like all the 'noise'. Some of what I look for are:

Good pic(s) - this is probably the #1 item.
Decent description - doesn't mean wordy, just applicable. If you point out flaws that aren't obvious from pics (like interior of a mag), I'm more likely to trust you with your item.
Feedback - not end all, be all, but I check what the negative/neutrals might say
Price, including shipping -duh?
Spelling and that the person can communicate - again, not end all, be all, but if the person takes time for coming across effectively, then I feel they 'care' for their items(s)

Much of the above just show you care (IMO).

I picked depends on price but I should have also "meant", depends on the pictures too. I was thinking the question was, do I care about all kinds of frilly stuff in a listing, and that answer is no. However, good pictures are almost always a must.

Thanks for breaking it down Leon to the basic question...Does Frilly stuff matter?

Taylor...my wife answered almost exactly the same way that you did. Thanks,

I agree with this. I clicked on your link. With a feedback score of almost 4000, and a 100% rating all I would need is a couple of pictures, a brief description, and a fair price to buy. The rest doesn't matter.
