Yes, but in the example I give above, if you get the package to Miami as a seller, you're good.

At that point you have proof of delivery from USPS or whoever.

If the courier loses it after...

I don't know about India, but when I lived in South America the mail was not very reliable. Employees opened packages and took things. I only point this out because it very well may not have been a...

You've got your smalls, and your bigs.

Ebay used to be for the smalls, but they changed their business model and favored the bigs. Big mistake. Part of ebay's appeal was the idiosyncracies of the...

I feel like you do.

ebay has made it harder on sellers in a number of ways (unfair feedback rules, higher fees, etc.) so a lot of people have just dropped out. Those who have stayed have...

Two favorite cheap things for me:

1) Tiny, portable tripod.

2) Bubble level that fits in flash socket

I read the page. Wow!

I had something like this happen to me that was not a scam. Misdelivered.

It depends on the listing. The default if you offer returns on your listing is "Buyer pays return shipping." Here's an example:...

But there are advantages to craigslist too.

If you return something on ebay, you almost always have to pay return shipping. That can be a considerable amount of money for something like...

Marty,

I agree. I question people about what I'm buying. Usually it's something I'm familiar with myself, so I can get an idea of whether or not they know the equipment and have used the...

Oh, I've gotten some deals on craiglist.

You just have to be careful, as you say.

The dust thing is ridiculous.

You can Google pictures taken with lenses with severely cracked front elements, and the effect is not that great on IQ.

But, yeah.

"Is there any dust inside the...

ebay has always worked for me. I've had to invoke buyer protection a couple of times, but they've always backed me up.

There are also good deals on craigslist if you're patient. No buyer...

This is "The Painted Word" applied to photography.

I like the tweet and I like the message.

Obama was flawed. He greatly increased the surveillance state, for one. But he was orders of magnitude less flawed than Trump. They're on different levels...

Lame. Not sure how anybody justifies this.

LIghten up.

Nobody cares about your technically perfect landscape when what they really want is pictures of their kids. They also don't want to hire you to follow them around at the barbecue and...

Face it. The article's correct.

What makes a good photograph for most people is subject matter, period.

If they can capture the subject matter adequately--kids, vacation spots, the family...

It's pretty easy to see how this works, and it undercuts the arguments of the FF folks.

As sensors and technology get better, we'll need LESS camera, not MORE.

I gave you a like, but some of the fault lies with the counterprotestors.

First of all, I'm 100% on the side of the counterprotestors.

Just so that's out of the way.

But when we did direct...
