How to buy a good horse off of ebay

I tend to buy alot from ebay and amazon!  Some people think I'm nuts but they don't think so after I beat them. I have a method to my madness! With amazon it is all luck though. So good luck there!
With ebay I NEVER buy a horse with one photo. Because you can't see both sides. Might be photo quality but I never trust the description until after I look over the pictures over and over again.
I zoom in and then if they pass that I will read the description then look at the pictures one more time. If I have a quiestion I will always email the seller.
Then I will buy the item or place a bid.
This is by no means fool proof though. I also don't buy items where the actual item is not pictured
