Hmm I agree a bit, I do understand were the rule is comming from as if no photo does the item exist? but I survive on the second hand section

as i run on budget, and it's frustrating when stuff get delited.
I fully agree with price as I hate those closed bid (offers

)posts, if your going to sell it have a price! if it's to high possible buyers will soon tell you (I do

)
As for the photos I do understand the probs, but if you explain why you can't post a photo or if it's a small part I think it should be left to the buyer if he wants to take the risk. It most frustrating to see so many deleted posts in the forsale section. and sellers thinking "sod it then"
Like has been posted before, one of the biggest things people should be aware of is most people ask for payment via paypal gift, for the obvious reason, but if you pay via gift you are unprotected, people should add a couple of quid to cover paypal charge.
Also if you are concerned about a scammer, do to things, look at the post count, if the member has more than 30posts they are prob genuine, If not ask a few questions, also take a look in the feedback section

, thats why it's there, I have bought loads and loads of stuff on oople,and I have found every member great to deal with
