I'd be more concerned about the quality of the photo than the amount, although I agree that sifting through 10+ photos of the same bass is a little bit tiring.

But what annoys me more generally tends to be the quality of the photos. Learn to use a camera!

The thing that annoys me most (not specifically here, but on eBay in particular) are people who take pictures of their instruments with their bloody WEBCAM. The worst ones are people with their webcams set to mirrorring the image. I've mistaken a lot of basses on eBay for nice lefties through the years... Oh, the disappointment

would the angle on something like this... be too off centre and funky for you?



I don't know why folk don't just stick one or two photos up and then a link to an album - like this one I made before I gave up trying to sell it... http://s1230.photobucket.com/user/LukeFRC/library/JV

but then agian maybe the above photo is too funky.... ach you'll all enjoy photos of a lovely P bass

A picture like this shows me what your bass looks like:

Ahhh, the classic 1980s catalogue dildo shot. It doesn't make the dildo look sexy, does it.

Rule #1 of digital marketing: Don't make people click any more than they have to....

I think if its taken from a distance, to me, they're hiding something they don't want you to focus on- not always the way but you'll only end up taking more pictures and uploading them anyway in desperation to sell.

It's generally a No Gamer not showing detailed pictures, people want to invest their cash well in these hard times.

Photos seem to be the bane of the marketplace.
