>>8428941this is against ebay's seller terms of service. if they can't do basic things like give you pictures of the object, just report them.
i once tried to buy an album and all the sellers wouldn't specify if they came in a jewel case or cardboard sleeve. "unfortunately the warehouse is in a separate location, so i have no way of knowing, sorry!". asked them one more time if there was ANY way they could check, but they either didn't reply or replied "sorry, no way to check".
called ebay and told them, they reviewed my messages and went yeah this is against our terms and then went after them.
