Lots of good advice here. From my experience this is what I would add.
If you request for pictures of speakers from the seller make sure they are actual pictures of the speakers being sold. I have seen sellers on other sites use pictures from Canuck Audiomart or various pictures from google and say my speakers look like these. Sometimes they would say nothing at all and say these were pics of the speakers they are selling. That is a major red flag to me if a seller is pulling these stunts.
Also be wary of extreme close-ups of speakers or just a fuzzy distance shot. I've dealt with people on local classified listing sites who posted extreme close ups of just a drivers or a speaker badge. When I went to see them the speakers had all sorts of blemishes. The same went with fuzzy distance shots. Here on A'gon you get 3 free picture posts. Use all of them and use them wisely. On another site I saw 6 pictures allowed to be uploaded.
IMO if a seller can't add pics to their listings on any site they are either lazy or have something to hide. Pretty much every phone has a camera now and sometimes nice ones at that. Digital cameras are so cheap now. Heck I've even seen people take pics with their laptop webcams. There are many ways of getting pictures.
When I had little to no feedback here I would state in my sale listings I had feedback on other sites and for the prospective buyer to review those. If I was buying I would tell them seller to check my feedback and in some cases I would try to assure them that I'm a serious buyer and will not flake out on them via e-mail. Pretty much if you have little feedback I think a little more effort should be put forth on your part. Whether it be a more detailed sale listing or reaching out to a seller.
These one line listings from a person with no feedback is one I would never buy from.
