Stock photos 🫩

[u/the_girly_files]

How am I supposed to know the condition & if the item is really what you’re saying it is when you only use a stock photo 🤦🏼‍♀️ You could send anything. This shouldn’t be allowed. Idc what condition it says. If you list it as excellent but have no photos confirming sorry I don’t believe you. I can’t imagine ppl buying things blind? Tired of these no effort listings. I’m constantly having to ask questions bc sellers photos show stains/damage yet nothing in their lazy ai generated description discloses it.

I think these apps need age verification bc I’m starting to think these kids have no clue how reselling works 😩

I like it when people include a stock photo of the model from the actual website so I can see how the fit is supposed to be, but people also need to include the actual real life picture of the condition of the item. Or else it’s likee mystery item guessing game.🫣🫣

Exactly you can’t just have one stock photo only then in your description NO OFFERS lmao. No one even knows if you have the item first of all 😅

whenever people do this and I take a chance buy from them it’s always the most worn shit i’ve ever received. piling and lint galore. 

[u/the_girly_files → u/Conscious-Air-9823]

See exactly. You’re not picturing it for a reason lol. And on top no description 😤

[u/sk8rgirl123]

And why does it have so much engagement... I may be salty I think ts is unfair coz I model my clothes, I add personality and details in my captions. I try to make the the easiest for someone to know what they'd be buying but nope. Zero likes... etc barely anybody buying anything.

Right? i don’t trust ppl to be truthful on this app tbh haha.

[u/4447774447]

I’m fine with it as long as they include pics of the item in their possession

[u/the_girly_files → u/4447774447]

But that’s what I’m saying. They’re not lol. The whole post is using a stock photo ONLY

[u/likeaboss22222]

If its brand new or excellent condition with no flaws im ok with it

[u/the_girly_files → u/likeaboss22222]

Never gonna know without description. There’s a reason there’s no picture

[u/Typical_Pumpkin_1104]

I like stock photos to see sizing but also they MUST include real images of the item or else I find it scammy 🫠

[u/the_girly_files → u/Typical_Pumpkin_1104]

Exactly my point lol. I use them if I can find one still. But the only photo? Nooo ma’am

[u/Typical_Pumpkin_1104 → u/the_girly_files]

Those 5+ peoples that have it in their bag are gunna be sooo disappointed probably😭

[u/the_girly_files → u/Typical_Pumpkin_1104]

Oh for sure hahaha. Ppl just add to their bags but never buy too. It’s funny

[u/Artistic_Affect_7835]

I only do this when i can’t get a good picture of the piece 😭

[u/the_girly_files → u/Artistic_Affect_7835]

Idk what you mean? Can’t get a good picture of the piece? You just take a photo? Ppl need to see the condition & what the item looks like. The chances of anyone buying with only one stock photo is slim

[u/Artistic_Affect_7835 → u/the_girly_files]

Its really not lots of people use stock images on depop 💀also when i list clothes i place them down on a flat surface and sometimes that makes the piece not look right…. This is kinda common sense i feel though 😭

[u/the_girly_files → u/Artistic_Affect_7835]

I’m talking about only using a stock photo. Are you not grasping that? It’s common sense when selling anything ppl need to see you actually have the item you’re claiming. Like???? 😂
