Sanian-Crystal's Empawrium - Some thoughts & annoucements

It's an interesting place, this ebay

We hope you like our listings and particularly our photos and images, we put a lot of work into creating our own, it amazes us how many people just acquire someone else’s pictures. Talking of which, I’m sure that is supposed to be against the eBay rules.

 

Often we have suspicions that people list things they haven’t even got to sell, just to test the market, then quickly source some if their listing sells. None of that here, if we haven’t got it we can’t photograph it; hence we won’t try and sell it.

 

Whilst on the suspicious minds vain, could some sellers be listing quantities far in excess of what stock they actually have, perhaps to make their businesses appear larger than they really are?

oh amen .... i hate stock photos as well ... everything that has ever been in my store has been in my hands and i have photographed it and written my own listings .... and im not to sure that there arent a couple of pony sellers out there that have stolen my photos .... and yes i believe that is true... i sell Trail of Painted ponies .... collectabl.es ... and i have noticed that several dealers sell ponies before they are even available for sale ... i wont do that and i am actually getting out of the business because im sick of being outsold by people who dont actually have the stock , and by unscrupulouse sellers that alter the numbers on their collectables to fetch a a higher price.....
