Black Area on Photos

Hi, I recently purchased a D3100 with 18-55mm lense on ebay for my Fiance as a birthday present. I have tried taking a few test photos (bearing in mind i have zero DSLR experience) and the photos come out with varying sizes of black band across the image. The two images below were taken within 10 seconds of each other, I did not adjust the settings or move position. I'm hoping this is down to my inexperience and is just something I need to adjust. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Thank You

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

I agree with Texas, looks like a shutter failure. I would cross my fingers and demand a refund from the seller. The repair would cost more than the camera is worth.
