Thread: No pictures - no buyers

  1. #1

    Default No pictures - no buyers

    I know this suggestion will not be popular, but I do believe that pictures should be compulsory in some categories - if not all.

    Browsing through the Card Making and Scrapbooking, the majority of listings on the first two pages had no pictures. What is the sense in that?

    A shop window with the blinds down would attract very few buyers and such listings will get few buyers.

    I gave up after the first two pages

    Sorry, only one in that category from the seller's listings: Crafts, Handmade & Sewing > Handmade Goods > Greeting Cards & Gift Tags > Christmas > 152566545

    All the rest of the seller's listings have no pictures. No incentive whatsoever for anyone to buy having to plough through that lot - more buyers lost to eBid.

    I see where you are coming from ~ this particular seller is a Seller+ Business, has 136 listings up (all RUS) and only 3 have pics....
    = total frustration for potential buyers I would imagine. Incomprehensible.

    I haven't explained this very well - the two missing pictures were from the seller who, as Cheaver has noted, has 3 pictures out of 136 listings.
