Q: Hi, I’m a photographer and I wanted to offer you my services. I think I can make your products look better for selling on Ebay and I’m CHEAP! Other sellers have simply sent me their items, I photograph them, and send them back with a CD of photos that they can use as they wish to market their products. If you want more information, just let me know! You would not be expected to pay me if you weren’t happy with the photos. Thanks! Janet
I politely declined stating that I would have no guarantee of ever seeing my items again and I like when a buyer is pleasantly surprised because of my crappy pictures. Anyone ever do this or get contacted through Ebay like this?
November 28, 2006 at 7:39 pm #488836November 28, 2006 at 7:40 pm #512338Not ever.
November 28, 2006 at 8:01 pm #512339Not in all my years….lol Sounds like a nice new scam. Did you report them to eBay?
November 28, 2006 at 8:13 pm #512340AnonymousWow, I had to read that twice… send me their items … wow.
It’s too bad that eBay has bred an entire world of scams from itself, but that is just how it goes.
November 28, 2006 at 8:14 pm #512341Huh, that is a new one to me.
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!
November 28, 2006 at 8:17 pm #512342Most likely a scam, but it would be interesting to send them some crap item and see if you ever get it back. It might be a good way to dispose of some very unwanted items…. 8)
November 28, 2006 at 8:30 pm #512343HaH, Thats pretty funny!
November 28, 2006 at 8:31 pm #512344Nah, just report them. It’s likely a scam and you don’t want to waste your money on shipping.
November 28, 2006 at 8:40 pm #512345She was ver nice when I refused, but geez…I cant imagine anyone actually trusting her like that. Hmmmm…If I still had the ugly ki rin, I would have tested her with that! I think I will go and report her to Ebay. She could very well be a fraud….Aaaaannnnddddd I just reported her. I will keep an eye on her profile to see if she gets deleted. *Snickers*

You should have told her “well it’d be easier for you to just send me your camera and I can send it back when I’m done!”. See how she felt about sending valuables to a complete stranger! π How crazy!

November 28, 2006 at 11:53 pm #512348wow…that is weird…..I would question something like that also….

random ebay member x writes:HI!
