Recently there was a disagreement between a buyer and seller on here about the amount of detail and information disclosed in a sales post. I'm not going to name the individuals involved as in my opinion the seller didn't do anything wrong. It's now been sorted, both had valid points but it did raise some interesting questions about how things should be sold, as there are currently no rules and only a few guidelines in the sales section:

Now I'm sure we've all seen sales posts of varying 'quality'. I have seen sellers post 10+ photos and a short essay about sub-£20 loose figures, and on the other hand I've seen people post one photo and no description for a 2k MOC (especially when graded as people assume the grade does the talking.) Should we introduce some seller guidelines?
For example - should a seller be required to describe (in text) any faults with items? How many photos should be added? Which common flaws should be disclosed (creases, discolouration, ink touch ups, bubble dents, lifting etc.) Some of these are subjective, and most you can usually see quite clearly in photos. So should people continue to use their common sense, or are you keen to help put together some sale requirements? Please post thoughts and suggestions.
