While stock pictures are allowed in auctions, they should not be the only pictures shown. Listia strongly recommends that you also include pictures of the actual item that is being auctioned - front, back and side. For higher valued items, please include a notecard or piece of paper with your Listia username in one of the pictures of the actual item so that bidders will know it's in fact yours. While this isn't a requirement, this is requested so that sellers get higher bids from more bidders, and for the protection of our users who might be interested in bidding on your item. It'll also prevent your auction from getting flagged by multiple users. We don't want your auction to get deleted for seeming like it's not in your possession.
Thanks for your cooperation and good luck with your auction!
mindraider good point. I was all about this poster, but the moderator had to mention the pciture thing, it's a stock photo, this user has never bid on anything, not verified, no badges, and this is their only auction. no picture of user, and no tied in Facebook or twitter accounts. Looks like I got out bid and I dodged a bullet. Thanks for the comment. I was ready to fight for this one.
Is it in good condition ? It better be since your advertising it as if it was in the stock photo! If it is not and has even a scratch on it . then it is misrepresented and is a false advertisement which is wrong and I am sure some kinda violation
