Look at this clowns auction(s)
Item # 1756039203
They remind me of a rented video, you get 8 minutes of advertisment previews, then the movie. Pics 1-7 do not pertain to his particular auction. Pics 8, 9 are of the train he has listed and pics 10-12 are other items he has kicking around the house. Talk about distracting from what you are trying to sell, I wouldnt list an auction like that at gun point.

What probably happened is that he used the same file name for the non-train pictures and the pictures are being used on another auction. I have seen a lot of closed auctions that have pictures that don't match the auction.

The sportscard sellers do the same thing. They'll have a photo with several different cards but the auction is for only one of the cards. Saves them a lot of scanning and time.

TOOLTIMES ,,,,,,SO IN REALITY,,THEY ARE SHOWING MORE OF THEIR PRODUCTS?? WITHOUT MAKING A NEW AUCTION? IS THIS THINKING CORRECT? MORE POWER TO THEM. WHATEVER WORKS.

I have a really short memory but, didn't we just discuss an auction that listed many items but only one was for sale and eBay closed it down. Well, maybe I was dreaming.
When I take pictures I usually put a couple of jewelry pieces together but when I edit them I separate them, well maybe I shouldn't.

LIBRA,,,,,MANY IS THE KEY WORD, I THINK. TOO "MANY" SPOIL THE POT. BUT LIKE YOUR JEWELRY,,,,,AH GEE I WAS SO CONFUSED THAT DAY I MUST HAVE ACCIDENTLY PUT IN A COUPLE OF WRONG PICTURES. SORRY ABOUT THAT, WHY YES, YOU COULD HAVE ANY ONE OF THE THREE. NO PROBLEM. I WILL PAY BETTER ATTENTION NEXT TIME.

If the images are properly cropped and presented as one whole photo, this technique could possibly reel in some "impulse buyers" in my opinion.
On the other hand, some bidders may find this
method rather distracting or even worse, confusing.
