eBay Tip~Use Lots of Good Photos

People need to see what it is they’re buying to feel confident about buying it. They don’t want to make a mistake and not get what they are looking for so if they can’t see good pictures they won’t bid. Take as many pictures from different angles as possible so your potential buyers are not left wondering if there’s something hidden they can’t see. With some items, it can become costly to add lots of pictures since each photo costs 15 cents to list. eBay allows you to use links in your listing provided the link is to offer the buyer the opportunity to view more photos, not to provide an offer to buy outside of eBay. If you have a website where you sell your items outside of eBay, you can provide a link to view more photos of the item but be careful to list the link as exactly that ~ a link to VIEW MORE PHOTOS. This allows you to provide great photos of your item for free. If you do not have a website, then offer a few great photos taken from different angles of your item. Photos that offers an opportunity for the buyer to actually feel they can become familiar with the item will bring in a higher final value. This spells more money for you.
