Selling on Ebay? The Do’s and Dont’s of product photos

Increased sales start from awesome photos. Here are the requirements for all product photos uploaded to Ebay
 
Photo Size
Do: Use images which are at least 500px wide for a clear detailed image of your product. For the best display resolution, we recommend making your photos around 1600px wide.
Don’t: Use small images which can make the details of your product unnoticeable or result in blurry images.

Borders
Do: Keep your image background simple using a solid white background. You want to draw attention to your product and keep the image clean.
Don’t: Use unnecessary borders which can distract viewers from your product

Photo editing
Do: Keep photo editing filters minimal. Use subtle effects to balance the brightness and light in your images but keep the effects natural.
Don’t: Use obvious image editing filters which are better left to Instagram photos.

Watermarks
Do: When using watermarks keep them slightly faded and not heavily obstructing the image.
Don’t: Use brightly colored watermarks or watermarks that exceed 5% of the image size

Text on images
Do: Keep your images clear of text or other artwork.
Don’t: Add text, promotions or artwork to your images. These details can be left to the item title and description.


Number of images
Do: Use multiple images of your product in different angles and provide styled images as well as single product shots.
Don’t: Use only one image per listing or add unrelated photos.

Stock Photo:
Do: Use stock photos for brand new items only
Don’t: Use stock images for used items
