why all the pm/text me for photos posts?

[mark]

Am I missing something, is it more difficult to post pictures?

[Dez]

I'm not guilty of the "text me for pictures" posts, but for me to post pics on the computer used to require me to get my pictures off of my phone/camera onto the computer, then upload to photo bucket, then put the pictures in via html codes… so it was a hassle for me until I paid $ for the tapatalk app on my phone which uploads it directly.

So maybe many don't have the app.

A "hassle" perhaps but as a seller do you not want the greatest chance of success for your sale? Even if it takes 5 - 10 minutes out of your day?

Lots of people are just lazy, and to be honest, I generally bypass all adds which don't have pictures up front. We are buying/selling items which need to be seen to be appreciated, post some damn pictures! aha.

It takes all of 2 minutes to upload photots and make a post. I use photobucket on my phone. Very simple and free. It should be a requirement to have pics in the for sale section

Im the same way if there is no pictures I usually don't even bother looking

I don't understand either so easy to do straight from phone I have no intrest in anything with no pics.

Will admit I do find it a little frustrating not seeing a picture in a FS post and having to jump through hoops to get it but if something does interest me enough, I will send a PM will my email address, it just seems a lot more frequent recently.

Don't believe it should be moderated or mandatory and even think lots of FS posts waste bandwidth as I really don't need a picture of a pump or a skimmer or even a common fish as I'll usually do a search anyway (links are nice though). Just thinking if someone is saying they have something unique or some silly named zoa a picture in the post would be great and speed up the process.
