I usually try to make sure my backgrounds look okay so the item will look good before it is cleaned. The last thing I listed, I thought I didn't need to worry very much about the background since they would be cleaning it anyway.I have 9 items that are non cleaned, and CL, LV, Bottega, YSL, Chanel are among them - I believe these brands are favored the most, so it's not about brands. Their designers maybe missed them and don't hurry to come back for them
on the one hand it's ok, they look like I've just listed them and it might attract someone to grab them before someone else did lol. but on the other - they look so pretty with pictures cleanedI remember one girl on Tradesy even accused me that I am just using stock pictures in my listings. well, I accepted it as a compliment to my photographer's skills
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

my background is always white, but not as white as after cleaning
I never make pictures that would show some parts of my apt / furniture etc, that can tell something about me and my private life. I am not paranoid, but still think it's not appropriate
meanwhile I know some famous eBay sellers on the contrary use their interiors and it makes their pics / listings recognizable.I have terrible lighting in my house so I take my pictures out in my yard. There are usually plants as my background. I tried taking pictures in front of a white sheet and there were so many shadows and folds in the sheet that looked bad. Often I find that the greenery in my background makes the colors of my item look prettier. I try to keep anything personal out of my photos. There is an ebay seller who takes all his pictures at the Alamo. There are a few clueless sellers who take pictures in their messy kitchens. Once I saw a listing where a woman was holding up a purse and in the background there were two people in bed.my background is always white, but not as white as after cleaning

LOL that is so funny (two people in bed).
I use big white cotton plaid as my background, and I also bought this thing and 4 huge 150W lamps with white cold light for it. helps a lot

maybe it's not as cool as those professional equipment in photo studios, but it works for me and still not broken for those year+ I use it
and it doesn't take much space.

for now I use flash light from my cell phone and take pics with camera, it's better than just using flash.That's pretty neat. I don't know if I want to get that involved in photography.LOL that is so funny (two people in bed).

Maybe the reason they aren't cleaning your pictures as fast is because they already have white backgrounds. Now that I think about it, I think the items I take on a white background take longer to get cleaned. I use a piece of white paper for small items like wallets.
I listed two white background SLGs yesterday and they both are cleaned this morning. The item from last week still hasn't been cleaned. Once they skip over an item, they don't seem to ever get around to doing it.
Super weird when someone sends you a message asking why you returned their item :-/ what do I say? Because your purse was used and smelled like my grandmas perfume?
well, I'd say as it is "old perfume smell" or will just ignore it.
Talking about messages, that feeling when you sold a bag and on the next day after delivery you get email from the buyer. Your heart starts beating "what's now"? then you open it and it's just thank you note. Phew!
Me four(?)
But I'm also guilty of being one of those that freaks my sellers out by sending notes & thank you messages..
I just got one from a buyer thanking me for shipping so quickly. I thought she was going to complain because my mail carrier didn't scan her item when it was picked up and it wasn't scanned until the third day, which was the delivery day. I had promised I was going to ship the next day and it looked like I didn't. It was relief to read her note!Me four(?)

I just noticed that one of my cleaned pictures has a wand beneath it like it hasn't been cleaned. My original picture had plants and things in the background and they are gone, so it was definitely cleaned.I have 9 items that are non cleaned, and CL, LV, Bottega, YSL, Chanel are among them - I believe these brands are favored the most, so it's not about brands.

ignore it. it's not like ebay where you can give/get feedback... no communication is even required on this site. i say nothing these days and just ship and hope for the best each time
