I don't think a stock photo off a website should qualify as a photo of the item for sale. A genuine photo will show that you actually have the item in question and will also show condition, upgrades, color, size...
Yes, it isn't a foolproof system since some cameras and techniques won't show all the small details clearly, but it's a start.

If you want to sell something to somebody then take pictures that somebody can and wants to see.
Take pictures with the light behind you or better yet, with the light at 45 degrees from over your shoulder. Keep your shadow out of the picture.
Step back far enough that your camera has a chance to focus.
Do not place your black rifle on a black table. It will become invisible.
Do not place your black rifle on a glaringly white table. All we see is a black spot.
Take pictures of your black rifle with a neutral light colored back ground like on a sand colored towel. Do not use spastic/uber busy patterns as your background.
Do not take pictures with your flip phone 'cause they suck. Go to WalMart and buy a $12 camera if you are going to sell stuff.
It is better to use a brightly lit room than a flash unless you are far enough away from your subject that you won't create a glaring white orb in the center of your pictures.
Do not take pictures of your black rifle sitting in the window seal. All we can see is your kids in the swimming pool.
Pick up your freaking underwear off the floor and try to hit the trash can.......as a favor to me.
There are gobs of us who won't look at your product if your picture sucks 'cause a sucky picture tells us the owner is a slob and doesn't care to take care of his ****, whether that is true or not.
