Why are pics so bad on Eb@y?

[FloridaNative]

I check Eb@y's Ibanez offerings pretty frequently and I find it astonishing that so many of the listings have such horrible pictures. Alot of times I'll see good pics of the body, but then when it gets to the headstock there is only one picture and it is blurry or they'll show the pictures in like a collage kind of way showing the neck in one picture and the body in another and they never show you a picture of the whole guitar. I've even seen auctions where they don't have any pictures at all! It will just say something to the effect of "great guitar. $300.00" Are they kidding? Do they really think they are going to sell something that way?? I saw an auction the other day where the guys spelling was so bad, I thought it had to be a joke! But not to turn this post into a rant about Evilbay. I'm wonder if this behavior is an attempt to disguise fraud or if the sellers really don't care?? I know that there is alot of fraud on Eb@y, but is it is really as bad as all that??

What do you guys/gals think?

I think the answer would be: "A little of both"

some people just don't realize that good pictures can bring in more money and are just to lazy to take decent ones. Then of course there are the people trying to hide something with their crappy pics.

You'd be surprised how stupid some people actually are.

Look at this, it's just laziness if you ask me. If this guy had actualy real shots of the guitar alot more ppl would be interested.

Good pics can totally sell an item. Here's the pics I used to sell my RG3120.

from the discription of the eb@y listing:
Di Marzio Paf Pro andJEM (s)pick up's.
which ones

It's true.

With good pics, you stand a much better chance of selling your item, no matter what it is your selling. Good pics and information can certainly put the price up too.

In all areas of life. Though I'm finding myself less surprised every year.
