[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 523660, member: 7379"] I pretty much agree with most of what has been said. I always try to adopt the position when selling of treating others as I would want to be treated myself; write the description and provide the photos that I would want to see if I was the buyer, and pack the thing for posting as I would want to receive it. Yes, any major flaws should be highlighted (especially on more expensive items), but a picture paints a thousand words, so multiple, clear, well-lit photos of the item are a must. I get fed up with seeing eBay listings of things I might want to buy, but where only one or two low-res blurry photos have been taken with a light source behind the item, meaning it's in complete shadow! Common sense, honesty, fairness and courtesy should be King on both sides of a successful sale. Both the buyer and the seller need to act responsibly, sensibly and fairly. If something is important to you as a buyer, but isn't clear from the listing, then ask the seller to clarify it! If they're also being sensible and reasonable, they will happily answer. Likewise if there is something about the item you are selling which clearly warrants special attention being drawn to it (as I have done here with my PBP 4-LOM listing, for example ([url]https://starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=522772#p522772[/url])), then you have an absolute obligation to do so! To do otherwise is to invite guaranteed disappointment on the part of the buyer and accusations of dishonesty or deceit on yours. [/QUOTE]
