Ludicrous for the buyer, but a Cunning Plan that came off for the seller!

The moral is bid whilst you're thinking of it and don't wait too long. I say that as a seller of course.

The interior shot is much better than the exterior one. The exterior shot has a bland sky and converging verticals on the building. It gives us little idea of the overall structure, so I think a different viewpoint would probably be better.

The interior shot is better balanced and shows us what we need to see much better. It is leaning to the right, which is easily corrected, but is a basically sound image.

If you want a distortion free wide angle zoom then the SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm is a cracking lens.

That's a cryptic first comment, but I'm guessing you mean the lock button that clicks in when the dial is set to Auto. You need to press this button to turn the dial to anything else.

This is only a problem if the dial/button mechanism is faulty, otherwise it is ultra-smooth.

The only Saprophyte I remember is Mucor. Is this Mucor?

I think you are misunderstanding something. It may be that your printer is not printing borderless too well, or that the image proportions you have selected are not the same as the paper, in which case it can't print borderless. You can trim the print afterwards to cut off the border.

If you make the image larger than the paper size it will mean that you only print part of the image because the paper isn't big enough.

I would choose Print Preview to see what the end result will be before you press the Print command. But first make the image the right size and then you'll at least know that the file you are trying to print is OK.

Whatever Pentax camera you use they all work in a similar way, so we probably don't spend a huge amount of time discussing a particular model. Also the Km is relatively new, so maybe there are fewer users just now.

But there's nothing wrong with using a Km! It looks a very attractive and compact DSLR and will give superb results, just like the rest of the range.

There's a lot to be said for light and compact, especially after a long trek in the wilds.

Did you mean to write that you make the image size bigger than the paper, because if you do then it won't fit on the paper.

This is in the manual where it does confirm that we use the higher speed.

This is borne out in general with formats, so a medium format camera can in theory be used at slower shutter speeds than a 35mm one and the one ironically most in need of a firm tripod is the 110 or other submin format.

Probably because not everyone looks at eBay, so by being in several different markets they will get different sorts of customers.
