This is a PERFECT way to get a blank background in a photo with no setup required! Simple....and more profit in your pocket because, as you know, a great picture brings in a higher bid for your item.

Fake eBay Emails~How to Deal With Scammers

Scammers begin to stalk all eBay sellers routinely. You will receive scam emails that look very authentic telling you of fictitious problems or posing as buyers with a question. Scam emails often look so authentic that it is scary! Treat any emails you receive from eBay with caution. If you click on a link in an email and it asks you for your username and password, close the browser. Instead, open a brand new browser window and sign into your account. We repeat, Never, never, never sign into your eBay account from an email. Always, always, always go to your browser and type in http://www.ebay.com/ then sign into your account. If the email message is legitimate, it will be in your messages. Answer it there. Any problems will be highlighted in the "My eBay" section.
