Buying cards off ebay: no picture?

[DragoFireheart]

Is it safe to buy cards from dealers that don't post a picture but have descriptions on the quality of the card and their feedback is 100% positive (2000+ feedbacks)?

I ask because I saw a nice deal for a playset but a red flag went up when I didn't see a picture.

not everyone has the time, energy or patience to take photos of everything they have for sale. especially if they are listing several hundred items. if they have 2000+ feedback at 100% apparently they are doing something correct.

Yea just read the description carefully (IE if it doesn't say NM/M, then the seller isn't claiming that condition). Sometimes larger retailers will sell played-condition playsets; and often it is still a good deal for the price, but if you're particular about condition assume nothing; one can use the "ask seller a question" option and either ask for scans or just ask them what condition the cards in the auction are.

honestly pictures are irrelevent, just read the description and make sure they spell out EXACTLY what their product is.

For lots of the people that do have pictures, they're just stock photos anyway. In the fine print, they probably say that the pictures aren't binding anyway.

this, pictures are no guarentee, their description is a binding contract.
