    How to photograph your pieces

    Better photos mean faster sales. Follow these guidelines for each type of item.

    What to Photograph

    Required and recommended shots

    Required

    Front of Case

    Front of the case or sleeve — this becomes the hero image

    Recommended

    Disc(s)

    Surface condition of the disc — scratches, marks, and play wear visible

    Back of Case

    Synopsis, certificate, region code, and technical specs

    Spine

    Title and classification label on the case spine

    Inside Case

    Shows disc holder, any inserts or booklets included

    Damage Detail

    Any cracks, splits, or missing elements — close-up

    Multi-disc and box sets

    For multi-disc sets and box sets, photograph each disc separately and include a shot of all discs together in their holder.

    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.
