    Quick Tips

    Get the best results

    • Use natural light

      Photograph near a window during the day. Avoid direct sunlight and flash.

    • Clean background

      A plain white or light surface works best. Avoid beds, carpets, and busy floors.

    • Show everything

      Photograph all labels, tags, serial numbers, and any wear or damage. Honesty builds trust.

    • Stay steady

      Rest your phone on a surface or use both hands. Blurry photos reduce your listing score.

    • Fill the frame

      Get close enough that the item fills most of the photo, but keep the full item visible.
