Thank you for all the suggestions. Yes, 360 views of items are on my to-do list :) As you mention, some sellers care (but might not have the technical tools, and that's where I come in), but others don't. I'm absolutely convinced that the shopping experience can and must be improved :) , thanks again for the feedback.

Again to emphasise: most of the problems here are of behavior, not technology. I'd strongly suggest you look up Akerloff's "The Market for Lemons". That details how information failures hurt all market participants. And I'd again emphasise that there are areas in which image can help and more importantly, many more in which it CANNOT. Pick your battles. As for video: it's very high-bandwidth. What's the difference between, say, 15 seconds at 32 fps, and the coverage of, say 4-16 well-arrayed photographs. Square-on front, back, and sides, or a well-selected set of oblique shots. Again: where catalog marketing (and online sales is just updated catalog marketing) breaks down is that the communications channel is very thin. I can tell far more in two seconds of handling a piece than I can in a minute of reading obfuscatory marketing copy.
