Rules
This is a free site for you to sell you photography equipment so please treat it with respect and we will continue to provide this free service.
We have the right to remove any advert that we feel is inappropriate or offensive. The webmasters view is finial.
What to include
Try and use terms and phrases that people would understand:
• Condition
• How long you have had it
• Show images of lens
• Show images of photos taken with the lens
• Be honest with your advert
Extra tips
It’s important to keep the advert
concise – include essential pieces of information. Try not to include
too much or too little content as this could bore the buyer or scare
them away.
Keep the length of the piece around 50 to 75 words
online or 20 to 30 words in print, and minimise use of block capitals
(which can make the ad more difficult to read).
OFFERING PAYMENT METHODS
Offer PayPal
PayPal is the preferred payment method for most buyers and
sellers. It offers buyers an easy, secure and free way to transfer
money with the minimum risk.
For sellers, PayPal offers a quick, easy and secure way to collect
money for fees that are far lower than those offered by most credit
card companies.

What to Consider When You Offer Other Payment Methods
If you do offer other payment methods, such as personal cheque or
postal order, make sure the cheque clears or cash the postal order
before you dispatch the items. Make it clear when you list an item that
there will be such a delay if buyers choose these payment methods, then
nobody will be disappointed.
Don't Accept Payment by Western Union or other Instant Cash Wire Transfer Services
The use of instant money transfers as a method of receiving payment,
via companies such as Western Union or Moneygram, is not allowed on SHL. We have banned the use of instant money transfers as a payment
method on eBay to protect members. In the past some sellers have
exploited Instant Money Transfers in order to defraud buyers.
