I think adding a picture of the item is very helpful but is not necessary on some items.

Someone mentioned that the item should always have a price listed. If you click on the link below the ad, you will see the price.

I also can see why some don't want to give out their phone number or email address. You can always send the seller a private message.

I say no, some have problems posting pictures and I find my best buys are out there even after it is posted with no picture... why are the items still out there... because few people will look at it... so it is a double edged sword...

I suggest changing Manage Attachments to Add your pictures here. I don't know about the mandatory thing.

It is a waste of time without a photo but it should not be Mandatory. Space is not limited is it? If it is then I would change my vote to Yes.

They should post phone numbers,many a time I have sent sellers messages and they almost never get back to me....if you post something at least have the courtesy of getting back to the person who sent you the message

Why dictate things unnecessarily? If someone posts an ad without a photo, ignore it if you want. If most do, then I suspect you will see fewer ads without a picture. But I don't believe it necessary to restrict peoples freedoms when there is no harm to anyone.

Yes-if no picture, I don't bother to even consider.

So what happened with this? There are very few photos. This seems to be a rather recent (in the last year) development. I came to look today and just bailed out.

I voted yes, but obviously this could be an issue for some sellers. That said, I feel a price must be mandatory. The classified section here leaves much to be desired.
