Am I the only one who washes my hands with soap before packaging a ebay parcel.

I know It sounds bizarre but does anyone else do this?

I always brush my teeth and have a little squirt of eau de toilette before sitting down to wrap.

Howabout locating a clean spot on your carpet before taking the photo of the item for sale?

The patches on the carpet that like mould like are actually the pattern of the carpet. :rotfl: My friend has the same carpet in her hallway.

Yes they do seem popular. And how many look like they have just had someone got out!! They don't even pull the covers straight. I never bid on any of those items.

Even worse are the photos of an item on a carpet/bed/whatever with a dog or other animal lying next to it (I am thinking particularly of clothes listings) .:eek:

My hubby bought me a portable studio to take my ebay pictures! Think it was about £10, but ideal for taking pictures of books etc. Before that I always took the photo on either a white (clean & Fluffy) towel or on the wooden flooring - depending on what I'm selling.

If I fancied something and the house looked not too clean from the photos I definately would not bid on it.

Add ambience with a scented candle and glass of wine.

That may be the case Shelly :rotfl: - but I'm afraid I chose to buy my Victory Vee's elsewhere based on that photo :eek:

Best tell your friend if she ever sells anything on Ebay - don't use the hallway as a background for photos.

Well, it goes without saying. And a gentle touch of Englebert Humperdink on the stereogram.
