eBay Photography Tips
- For new items: follow Amazon-style white background photography for maximum professionalism.
- For used/vintage items: show EVERY flaw, scratch, and sign of wear — undisclosed condition issues are the leading cause of eBay disputes.
- Use maximum available image slots — the more angles and detail shots, the higher the buyer confidence.
- eBay's Best Offer and auction formats benefit from aspirational lifestyle photography that justifies your price.
- High-resolution zoom is extremely valuable on eBay — buyers often zoom to verify condition before bidding.

FAQ
eBay Product Photography Questions
How many photos should I upload to eBay listings?
eBay allows up to 24 images per listing (12 free, remainder paid). Use as many as needed to fully represent the product. For new products: 5–8 standard angles. For used/vintage: photograph every detail and any imperfections — buyer disputes are reduced significantly.
Does eBay require white backgrounds?
No — eBay doesn't require white backgrounds. However, for new products, clean white background shots look the most professional and consistent with marketplace standards. Used item photography benefits from neutral backgrounds that accurately represent the item's condition.
