Photo guide
One item, a plain background, even light. Five frames are enough for most listings: front, back, label, a close-up of a defect, and scale. You can add up to eight photos. Use the extra three for a second defect, the inside, or an accessory.
1. Front
The whole item, flat and centered.
2. Back
Show the back, stitching, or sole.
3. Label
Brand, size, or model text should be readable.
4. Defect
Show a stain, tear, or worn spot up close.
5. Scale
Place a familiar object beside it. Do not invent measurements.
Light and framing
Daylight or one even lamp. Flash glare, dark corners, and blur weaken the result. Keep one item in the frame.
Leave these out
No face, address, license plate, ID, or document. Do not upload someone else’s photo.
A good photo does not verify price, authenticity, or regulations. You still check those.
