Yes, I agree. And a reputable Ebay seller should have no problem answering questions or providing more pictures of the item listed if requested. Personally, I would not buy from any seller that has that kind of attitude. I would rather spend my money where my business is appreciated.
+1! I have sold on eBay and understand the risk. That being said, I would much rather someone inquire before buying. I welcome communication and thank them for it. Business must be good if they can afford to block someone just for asking a perfectly understandable question, especially when there are so many fakes on eBay.
