That turns me off even in the marketplace here. You're supposed to be a photographer. Why are you listing crappy cell-phone pics of your items? I'm not asking for the full multiple light tent treatment, but a little effort goes a long way.
I think just as bad or even worse - one of my biggest pet peeves - are no pics at all in a Marketplace listing. I mean come on.....this is a photography forum. You can't even take pics of photographic equipment to sell? Even ebay requires photos in every listing now.

But, I am getting off track - this thread is about ebay tips..........

I always bid in the last four seconds. You have to use a proxy bid thingy. It costs like .05 per time.
But is well worth it. I'm using this one in Poland that was one of the first ones maybe almost 15 years ago.
I'm sure there are free ones now (or ad supported or some other thing).

Good advice on the other though.

Yep that I do agree with you on, people are getting crazy with the bids.
Maybe all the deals on shopgoodwill aren't gone. I just won an ME Super with Winder ME II & Vivitar 283 flash for less than $100. What makes it a deal is that it has a K 50/1.4 attached...
