    just ignore her/him/it.

    The bag will sell to someone else or if not, list it at a later date.

    Depends on how expensive the bag is. I'd answer the questions but wouldn't bother taking more photos unless I used a stock photo.

    If this is a designer bag then asking how much it was could indicate to them if you bought this as the genuine article as opposed to it being £10 down the market. Also the reason for furrther pics - if they know how to tell apart the genuine article from a fake then all this would help them.

    I think this is a fair question depending on what info you've already given; I would like to see what the bag looks like if I buy one- I try it on to see how low it goes etc..

    Serious buyers on ebay are wary of scammers, showing an item in a unique position can validate you a seller so id do it :) as for the season just say you dont know :)

    Most serious buyer know that they are well protected by paypal.


    Personally I'd block them. May sound extreme but from the questions I just get the feeling if they did buy it they would find something that wasn't quite right.

    paypal offers protection sure, but the process is long winded and takes ages. i use this simpe check when im buying items like guitars etc to make sure the images are genuine.

    Year/season does NOT mean spring/summer etc, it means when it's from, ie Autumn/Winter range 2009, they are simply trying to determine how old a design it is.

    As for how much, say the rrp is £x, ie tell them what it would have been worth full price when in the shops. Where from, they're probably just trying to determine that it's genuine. ie if you bought it from Selfridges it'll be real, if you bought it from ebay/market it may not be.

    As for wearing it...make a polite excuse!!!

    I think if it's an expensive designer bag the questions are to prove it's genuine as others have said.

    As for the photo could you put it over the back of a chair to show what it looks like hanging and how long the straps are etc.

    Depends if you can be bothered really and how much the item is.
