Here are some tips to ensure your pictures look their best for buyers:
- Set your item against a plain white or neutral backdrop, or if you’re shooting a shiny or reflective item like a piece of jewellery, a black background may work better
- Use a tripod to keep the camera steady for clear, sharp photos. If you don’t have a tripod, place the camera on a flat surface and use the shutter timer to eliminate excess motion
- Avoid using a flash, which can cause shadows, reflections, hot spots and greyness
- Photos need to be at least 500 pixels on the longest side but we recommend you aim for 800-1600 pixels on the longest side. Our photo uploader can take images up to 7MB in size.
- Capture images of the top, bottom, and sides of your item with detailed close-ups. Also, include photos that clearly show any flaws, scratches, or other imperfections
- Don’t overlay text such as “Free postage” or seller logos. That kind of information should go in the title, subtitle, or item description.
