Hi, when I am selling an iPad, is it enough to take a picture of the home screen to show that it's working? Or should I include a picture of the settings screen that shows the model number, etc? I notice on some listings the seller blacks or blurs out the serial number. Should I do this?

Whenever I sell an iPhone/iPad/Mac etc., I generally take photos of the body of the device to show that it is working properly. You could also include one of the screen on to show that it all works like it should. No real reason to show a photo of settings assuming you are providing the specs of the item in the listing. If you do happen to take a photo of the iPad and the serial number is showing, I would personally blur it out since it can be used on websites for device identification (and to be honest there’s no reason to include it anyways).
