Pictures yes ... and pictures of the actual instrument you are selling and that you take and from every angle
To the OP and any interested parties
At one time I had an actual brick and mortar Ebay drop off storelong story, bad ending!
Later I went to selling home based, with an in-house photo bay lights, black velvet backdrop, camera with tripod, the works!
Here is what you are gonna have to have, in addition to good pictures
Your also going to need to spell out every last detail of your policies ... for your own protection with Ebays lousy seller protection (as in non-existant) you need all of the help you can get, and trust me your still gonna get burned
You can take what you need or want from the example below it's the one I posted on every listing

International shipping is NOT available unless specified specifically in the auction text
We appreciate interest in all items we sell, great care is taken to state in our auctions and listings all of the parameters and requirements of those listings. The items we list have appeal in areas and countries other than the ones we serve and we understand that. However because of paperwork, insurance, packaging, customs, etc: we find it difficult if not impossible to ship to some places. Because of this we try very hard to state our shipping policies plainly so there will be no misunderstanding between us and any and all prospective customers.
The shipping and handling charges listed in auction apply unless other arrangements are made items are usually shipped within 5 days of receipt of payment
ALL RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO A 15% RESTOCKING AND PROCESSING FEE IN ADDITION TO ANY REFUNDS WE RECEIVE FROM EBAY. SHIPPING FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
Between the non-existant Ebay seller support, and high Ebay and PayPal fees the system was working against me so I'm off the bay for now ...
... hope it works out better for you
