Photos

Photos of the actual unit are the single biggest reason a customer trusts a listing. They are checked by software and by a person.

Photo rules

  • Real photos of this unit — not the manufacturer's pictures, not another seller's. Up to 20 per unit.
  • In focus, level and evenly lit, with the whole unit in frame against a plain, uncluttered background.
  • No watermarks, logos, phone numbers, web addresses, text overlays, borders or collages. No people, pets, house numbers or personal information.
  • Every photo is re-saved by us, which removes its hidden data (including location). The original file is never kept.
  • Upload files only. We do not accept links to photos hosted elsewhere.

How review works

Every listing from a new seller is reviewed by a person before it goes live. Reviewers may re-grade the condition you chose, ask for changes, or reject the listing for a stated reason. The reasons we use are:

  • Photos are not sufficient
  • Photos are not of the actual unit
  • Model does not match the rating plate
  • Condition is overstated
  • A defect is not disclosed
  • Prohibited item
  • The retail / compare-at price cannot be verified
  • Text contains contact details or sends buyers off the platform
  • This serial number is already listed
  • Other (explained)

A listing that is for sale can only have its price lowered. To change anything else, pause it; it will be reviewed again.
