As A Buyer

What I call 'Cute-see' Sellers. These are Sellers, that for some reason or another, feel the need to stage their photos in their listings with stuff that is unrelated or not part of the sale. These include holiday trimmings, diorama's, staged scenes or stuff they think is cool. I don't know what these Sellers do this for unless it may be due to a lack of self esteem and they want others to like them, think they are imaginative or possibly want others to view them as cool. If Its Not part of the Auction or sale STOP putting stuff in the listing to try and make yourself look good. I have seen, stuffed animals, Xmas Trees, Dragons scenes with trains inside a diorama of a station or on tracks all of which are not part of the sale and they don't even bother to mention this in the description. I have seen it so bad as to make you have to look just to see where the item for sale is. It has gotten so bad with some sellers that the scene they create takes up two thirds of the photos and the item only a third. Now there is times that it is helpful to show the item that is for sale in use to either get the scale of said item or to view it in use but then it should state that preferably right on that picture or at least in the description and its not necessary to do it in all of them. This way its easier for a Buyer to get a close up of the item without the distraction of unnecessary things.....Seller, if you feel the need to do this or have low self esteem talk to a friend but don't bother us with what you thing makes your item look better....it doesn't.
