I don't have the data, but I think I get more clicks on my listings with a photo of the actual set, than listings that just have a stock photo. You may have actual photos after the stock photo, but if the potential buyer doesn't click on the listing due to the 1st image being a stock photo, then it doesn't matter that you have actual photos. For this reason, I think it's better to have an actual photo of the set as the main photo. I feel like I'm also able to get slightly higher sale prices too just by having a photo. We all know buyers are going to sort by "lowest price with shipping" and if yours is priced a little higher, but one of the only ones with an actual photo, you might get the sale at your higher asking price.
You are wrong about photos, photos snatched from the net are a big question mark. As you noticed and corrected I see. You don t bother too much with the ad or most likely try to hide something, if you are a small seller with no reviews maybe you don t even have the set. I Make photos of all my sets from several angles, so people see the sealed sets and possible faults, don t you receive bumped or squished or sets with torn labels or label stickers on them? Besides some people may ask for photos anyhow and it spares you the extra work of getting the set again and making photos
95% of the potential buyers don't care about the numerous pic you post. If it's NIB and there's something wrong with the box, then put it in the description. You're selling inventory, not curating a museum.
Just a heads up, your background music is about 30-40% louder then what it needs to be. As I try to watch your videos it competes/distracts from listening to you. For what it's worth.
I don’t think clean and professional is what people want on eBay! Stock images look like you have something to hide. Better to put pictures of the actual set you are selling on from all angles. Buyers want to know you are trustworthy on eBay and actual pictures help this. They also want to know it will be well packaged.

Why use a stock image if you’re also going to use your own image?
Because the listing looks more clean and professional.
