Why are so many of the pictures taken with different cameras, backgrounds, and
lighting, including some that were obviously taken from the "Great Southern Coins"
listings? This makes it look like all the pictures are "borrowed" and that the
auctions are scams.

If you had taken the time to read the auctions, you would have seen that he
states that the photos are from the original auctions from which he purchased
the coins.

I guess my question shouldn't have been why, but more correctly "why do it that way"?
Looking at the seller's other items page is enough to scare away a lot of bidders,
without even going to individual descriptions. Like most other interested bidders, I
look at the images first. If I don't like the appearance of the coin, I'm not going
to waste my time reading the disclaimers in any particular description.
The varied images on the other items page gives the appearance of fraud. We all know
that any fraudster can make any claim in their eBay listing, so why alienate
potential buyers by not giving them current pictures of the items? If someone is
selling high-dollar coins, they should at least be able to afford a camera and take
their own pictures. I don't care what the coins looked at when they were purchased
in the past, I care what condition they are in now. Looks like very poor marketing
to me.

Because, as I mention in my auctions, I am using the photos that I copied
from the auctions when I purchased them.

I did it that way because I was having problems with the coins not being in
focus. I don't have the best camera
