Hello dietqueen,

In order to have better results with this auction, please add more details regarding your item. Your auction is missing a description or picture. These two things will go a long way in instilling confidence in potential bidders. We also highly recommend that you include pictures of the actual item that is being auctioned, (not just use stock photos from the manufacturer). For higher valued items, please include a notecard or piece of paper with your Listia username in one of the pictures of the actual item. This will also reduce the number of questions that your bidders will ask, and most importantly, you`ll get the best results with your auction.

Thanks for making these changes and good luck with your auction!

you know, I know you have people flagging auctions and you even give them badges for that, but I would think that before you email someone about posting pics or descriptions that you check out their auction site and see if they are doing that with other auctions. It seems awfully funny to me out of all the auctions I posted last night that only two were flagged for not having pictures. I'm getting tired of these comments. You all know I am going to post pictures. Obviously your email is computer generated as I always get the same one, word for word. From now on I'm not going to reply. I'll just post my pics when I can. It's not always convenient for me to post them whenever I list them.
