Take a Great Photo

  • Use proper lighting.
  • Use a contrasting background.
  • Avoid background clutter.
  • Photograph at close range and at an angle.
  • Have photos big enough to show details.
  • Use multiple photos to show all sides.
  • Show scale by using a contrasting item.
  • Show any flaws.
  • Use indoor lighting.
  • Don’t copy pictures from other sellers or manufacturers without permission.
  • Don’t use a flash.
  • Edit photo if needed (crop, rotate, resize).
  • Save pictures as a JPEG (.jpg) file on your computer by clicking File, then selecting Save As and selecting .jpg from the pull-down menu. Click Save and you’re done.
  • Avoid editing the picture and saving it too many times. Each time reduces the photo quality.
