I can't believe the nerve of some people.

I have a card listed for 1 cent, and I don't think bidding will be to much higher.

The person (with zero feedback) expects me to take the time to scan the image for them!

>Hello!
Can You send this photo in high resolution (300 dpi) via email ([email protected])?
I need in digital image.
Thanks

I problably shouldn't have even responded suggesting they bid on the item.

I kind of get the idea he/she wants to make a free copy.

Yes, really some nerve.

it's probably the guy that says NO SNIPERS that sells reproduction cards and pictures

scan the image in 72 dpi and put your name across the image in place where it would be hard to remove it and reduce size of image too..

I used to try to comply but the people who put me through hoops almost NEVER buy, and the more I handle my cards the more they're prone to damage or misfiling. I don't mind folks who download my images for their own enjoyment, as long as they don't put me to extra work or profit from it. Now I totally ignore the requests for special scans

I had a similar request. I was listing a knitting pattern, and had taken 2 views and spliced them, and part of the instructions were showing. I had someone ask me to send a scan with all the instructions showing because they couldn't read them all. Some chance!!

I've had worse. I once had a cd lot up, 50 cd's for 99 cents. Shipping was $15 I believe - A little on the high side since these could go media mail for less, but I figured in case the lot did go for 99 cents, it would provide some protection against a loss. Well, this guy won the lot, and then wrote to tell me that I could ship the lot for about $6 via media mail, so would it be ok if he paid $7 for the lot. I told him that I would put the lot in a dumpster before I did that, and that since he was paying 2 cents a cd (which was fair, he won the lot at that level) he had a lot of nerve to ask me to ship at cost, thus absorbing a loss with ebay fees, paypal fees, etc. He paid, and said couldn't hurt to ask. I guess not, since I was a couple of thousand miles away!

People who ask me to scan photos of really cheap items get a polite no, I can not do that. If they write back all annoyed and angry, I simply ignore them and block them.
