1Lighting and background
Natural daylight is your best friend. Photograph items near a window during the day, on a clean, neutral background. Avoid harsh artificial light, cluttered surroundings, and flash photography. A simple white or light grey background makes your item the focus.
2Angles and detail
Upload at least four photos: a front view, back view, close-up of any details, and a shot showing any flaws. Honest photography of wear, scratches, or damage builds buyer trust and prevents disputes. Hiding flaws always backfires.
3Avoiding stock photos
Never use manufacturer stock photos for your listings. Buyers want to see the actual item they are purchasing. Stock photos are a red flag and often result in buyers opening disputes when the real item arrives.
