Add clear product photos

Product photos are one of the strongest trust signals in a listing. Buyers should be able to recognise the product and understand its condition before contacting you.

Prepare the product

• Clean the product before taking photos.
• Arrange all included accessories beside the main item.
• Remove unrelated objects from the background.
• Use a plain background that helps the product stand out.

Use suitable lighting

• Use bright natural light or soft indoor lighting.
• Avoid dark rooms and heavy shadows.
• Avoid reflections that hide screens, labels or finishes.
• Check that small text and important details are readable.

Take useful angles

• Show the front, back and sides.
• Show labels, ports, controls, model numbers and important features.
• Show the packaging and included accessories.
• Show scratches, dents, cracks or missing parts clearly.

Choose the main photo

• Use the clearest complete view as the first photo.
• Make sure the item is centred and not cropped incorrectly.
• Avoid using a close-up detail as the main image.
• Do not use an image of a different model, colour or condition.

Uploading photos

• Add a product title before uploading whenever possible.
• Upload at least two photos.
• Wait for each upload to finish.
• Remove blurred, duplicated or unrelated images.
