I have just read in an online guide that you can get a bargain on ebay by bidding on items without pictures. Does anyone nkow how you can search for items without pictures or if there is a tool for this?
Thanks
Salsa

    There is no tool that I know of. Just remember though these type of listings can be a bit of a risk so you need to accept that you could end up out of pocket if you have to return a misdescribed item and the seller refuses to refund return postage (Paypal can't force a refund of return postage). If your happy to take a small risk yes you can get the odd bargain.

    Well you do have the tools - they are called eyes :rotfl:

    Seriously if you scroll down the results the ones without a picture will stand out like a sore thumb.

    Or you could search for phrases like no picture and picture to follow.

    That's because they're behind your nose ... and not right in front of your nose.
