Hi Op,
we have all noticed the trend of no pics and one line descriptions!
Between us here we know quite a few Ebay sellers (we talk to each other about all sorts of things) and common opinion these days is that Ebay is not taken seriously any longer.
They are or already have moved in masses onto their own sites where customers don't give them grief, where everyone pays, where they can get twice if not more for the same item, and the business is constant and steady, people comming in and shopping just like in a normal real store.
They use Ebay for few repeat customers, to get rid of cheaper items (everyone without exception said that's all they sell these days, cheap stuff - Ebay's clientelle doesn't even look at anything half decent, or if they do they want it for nothing, they want it yesterday, and with no postage.
So there is no surprise to see listings, more and more with lesser standards that what it used to be years ago when Ebay was a source of income for all these sellers - and worth going into trouble to do listings properly.
Cheers.
