As a buyer, do you like listings that only use eBay's picture service?

Hi Buyers! For the past few days there has been a discussion on the Clothing board about Ebay's picture services. I am curious how you the buyer feel about listings that only use the new free picture pack. I have always used embedded pix in my listings but since the new free pic pack rolled out, I am slowly transitioning to it. I still include some embedded, html pix in the body of the listing. Does only having ebay picture pack make you hit the back button when shopping? I have included the link to the discussion. Thanks in advance for any input you are willing to give me.

It gives buyers a very good idea of exactly, what they are buying and what to expect. The auctions with one small photo, no measurements, clothes laying on beds, the floor , are the ones I hit the back button on quick.|||The auctions with one small photo, no measurements, clothes laying on beds, the floor , are the ones I hit the back button on quick. Does this include jeans and or pants? The reason I ask is because I have a green, astro turf rug I use only for taking pix of jeans, pants, and shorts. The green color is a great contrast for jeans and I like the way it looks. For high end dress pants I use either a dress form or a half mani but those pics never seem to showcase the bottoms as well as the ones on the turf.Lora There's a reason for everything that has happened in your life.

They don't. I have seen many sellers, who you would swear took the item to their astro turfed back deck out doors, where people/animals walk and use that for photos. That is just a bit of a turn off to me personally. Your items and photos are very clean,crisp and well done, so my comment was more general, than yours in particular.|||With your clean items, crisp photos, great descriptions,DSR and feedback, I would have no problem buying at all. Like I said, I wish more sellers,would take the time to do auctions like yours. You can clearly see and know, what you are buying.|||Thanks salez4u! Just to be clear I am not trying to advertise my listings. I really am interested in the buyers opinions of listings with ONLY Ebay hosted pictures. The clothing sellers that are also buyers have been very verbal about how they dislike the picture packs. Personally, I just started using it but I do not want to lose business because of it.Lora There's a reason for everything that has happened in your life.

" That was clear from your posts, not to worry.|||As a buyer, I have no idea what the free ebay picture pack would consist of. I like your listings that have the zoom and enlarge for the pics much better than the listings with just the enlarge. Having just the enlarge for the pics would not make me hit the back button. I am assuming the embedded, html pix in the body of the listing was added by you to both the listings with zoom and enlarge and the listings with just enlarge.||||||For your pics for the listing I looked at, at least, the enlarge feature enlarges the pic to about the size of the same pics you have embedded. And the Zoom enlarges the portion it covers to about the same size of the enlarged pic. I don't know if the size of the original imported pic has anything to do with that or if the pics are automatically sized in the eBay pack. It might be possible that the other seller's original pics are too small to start with. For your excellant pics, I would be happy with the Zoom and Enlarge with any additional pics above eBay's allowance for that feature embedded. This is just my opinion as one buyer and limited to your listings. I haven't checked another sellers listings.|||I do not care how the photos are put on the auctions as long as they are good pictures of the widget. I do not want to see dark and/or blurry pictures.|||
