If I have the same item to sell as another seller it will ask " Sell one like this" I notice it used the same title line but can you use the pictures and description as the other seller, and how to do that?? I've tried and haven't been sucessful.  My camera just doesn't do good pics.

You CANNOT use another seller photos..........Ebay does NOT allow that. You need to borrow a camera to take your photos then.

The "sell similar" is basically for the category only..........Not to use the sellers entire listing..........

You also need to write your OWN description..........As you will read in the link I gave you.

 

If you use others work, then you can be reported by the original creator of the work, to ebay.  Your listings will then be removed and you will get a policy violation from ebay.

Maybe you should get a new camera.

You can't use another seller's pics. You need to take your own.
