Without trying to get thrown off the site, nor looking for snarky replies, why is it a requirement to have a pic of an item when listing the For Sale section ? I am not opposed to providing a pic, but I literally have been unsuccessful in multiple tries to get a pic added to a post. I’ve read and reread the tutorial trying to use Tinypic. No luck. I don’t have a computer and, therefore, I am relegated to using an iPad or cellphone.
In the past I literally enlisted the help of a fellow member who had posted for sale ads and attached pics to his own INGO ads. He was unsuccessful trying to help me get my pics to post that were stored in my iPad.
I presume that the most obvious reason to require a pic is to cut down on fraud or to help facilitate good communication between a buyer and seller. I would be willing to attach a photo via email or text from anyone requesting it that had an interest in what I might have for sale.
I’ve sold items on a couple of other sights ( not eBay ) and adding a photo is simple. The steps involve clicking on “add attachment box, look in my photos on my iPad, and clicking on upload a file.” No Tinypic, Photobucket, or other service required. Therefore, I know that adding a pic doesn’t have to be difficult.
Obviously, LOTS of other folks have figured the INGO procedure out. However, it hasn’t worked for me and at least 2 or 3 attempts have resulted in infractions being assessed. So, once again, why the requirement ?
