Take a photo, transfer it over using the EOS utility, then look at the file name. You should see something like IMG_0690.CR3 or IMG_0691.JPG, The number in the file name should be a rough indication of shots taken. I say rough because the numbering can be reset from within the camera at anytime.

But the numbers roll over regularly.  Whenever I search my LR library by file name, I routinely find quite a number with the same name, even after culling, so who knows how many times it rolled over.

Keep in mind too that if you, the seller can't get the number, the buyer can't either.  Will that force them to Sony?  I doubt it.  Rather, it just shows the ignorance of some buyers.
