Photos are essential to a good sale on eBay. Your customer can't touch, examine, or try on clothing before buying from you, so your photos must tell the story. Below are the top 5 mistakes you will see on eBay clothing listings. Avoid these errors!
The sideways shot. I never understand this one. One click on "rotate" and the image is upright. You practically have to stand on your head to figure out what the item really looks like. Take 5 seconds to rotate the image to the proper position
Clothes hanging in trees. I just don't get this one. Here is a listing for a "really cool hippie dress" - actual title. I guess so. I It looks pretty free and easy blowing in the wind and hanging in a tree. I wonder if a guitar and a headband comes with it.
The wrinkled garment. These shorts look like they have lived under a child's bed for a year. 5 minutes with an iron would do wonders. Would you really buy this item and put it on your child?
Clothing laid out on a bed. Call me a germaphobe, that's fine. Nothing says "eww gross" more than a picture like this. Invest $1 in some poster board and make a white background for your photos. (Click here for the article, "How to Make an eBay Background for Less than $1.)
The "huge lot of clothing" thrown together where you can't tell what anything is. It may be more effective to photgraph each item individually and show individual items or outfits.
