"NIP (only taken out for photo)" Really?

[ex_lucent_be223]

While browsing on Spots today I found this: http://hyenacart.com/prod_details.php?id=27832&vid=200001 and thought, ok maybe she just has a bad camera? But she doesn't. She just took the photo from the GM site : Read more... )

I wondered why that seller seems to only use stock photos. I mean, at least she could say "I don't have a camera, so I used this one from the goodmama flickr" or something to that effect.

She has other listings that aren't stock photos. It just seems weird to me to use a stock photo and go out of her way to blur it. She has the same wording in all of her listings: (only taken out for photo), so it looks like she just copies and pastes that part, but putting that phrasing with a blurred picture just make it come across as shady to me.

she may have saved the thumbnail imae from the site and doesn't realize that when increasing the size, it gets all scrambled like that...

I didn't really think of that as a reason for the blurred picture.

hahaha.

You would think the Goodmama Flick stream would disable embedding! Or did she printscreen or something, I wonder?

Yeah, that's lame. At least mention you didn't take the photo.

At least mention you didn't take the photo

Exactly. If you're going to make a sale listing with only 2 sentances in it, at least make them both truthful. Otherwise I think it just makes it look sketchy.

or at the very least, even if you don't mention that you didn't take the photo, don't imply that it's yours.
