M. Valdemar Posted February 19, 2014 Share #22 Posted February 19, 2014 I'm not trying to discourage you, but you're a Leica owner and therefore should know how to photograph an object. 1) Your photos of your camera are far too underexposed and dark, obscuring detail. 2) You do not come in close enough for the buyer to see the real condition of the camera. You don't need all that background, zoom in on the camera. 3) You can do a "Buy it Now, Immediate Payment Required" at a fixed price and then you don't have to worry about non-payers. 4) You omit some very important details, such as number of shutter actuations and time of remaining warranty, if any. Photos of the item are extremely important, the photos of your Leica are sub-standard and you're going to get a far lower price if you sell auction style, with the added risk of getting another non-paying bidder.

jaapv Posted February 20, 2014 Share #23 Posted February 20, 2014 Reported the dodgy one, but it is still there. I guess somebody is going to get a brick shipped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Valdemar Posted February 20, 2014 Share #24 Posted February 20, 2014 I regard people who get cheated on eBay more as a real life, online exhibition of Darwinism. Anyway, eBay has made itself fairly idiot-proof, for buyers. Unless you are foolish enough to pay by wire transfer, Western Union or cash, there is almost nothing to worry about. For naive sellers, eBay is a danger snake pit. Yes of course you would have a full time job, but it also doesn't hurt to post them on the forum - if it stops a single person in the community from bidding on a fraudulent item, then it is worthwhile.

London La Posted February 22, 2014 Share #29 Posted February 22, 2014 is it this?? Image Unique ID0000000000000000000000000000798B - I have taken far more than 798 photos though??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
London La Posted February 22, 2014 Share #30 Posted February 22, 2014 Google is amazing, I have translated a Hex into a digital. BLIMEY OVER 31,000 photos in 4 years. And with my M I have shot almost 20,000 in 6 months??? (which is not true as I have only physically shot about 3 thousand.) I think I have done this Exif hex thing all wrong! Back to watching the dodgy MP on Ebay then..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted February 22, 2014 Share #31 Posted February 22, 2014 Srill, that is the procedure. Digital makes it easy to take a fair number of images.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
