Photo Taking Tips and Tricks:

No, we’re not talking professional-quality, but good pictures are important and will increase the likelihood of your items being sold. Remember the photo that you upload is what the customer will see.

  • Take photos on your phone, iPad, or other device.
  • Find some good light- Shoot during daylight, pull back your blinds and turn off the lamps.  You can event take pictures outside on a bright and sunny day.
  • Use a clean & simple background.  A white poster board or blank surface will make your items pop.
  • Only ONE picture per item so make it a good one! 
    • Photos must be vertical
    • No blurry pictures
    • Use an app to put multiple pictures together into 1 image, but please do NOT combine anymore than 3 pictures.  This make the file too large and it may not be able to load into our webstore.
    • When shooting bundles make sure all items are visible.
**No tags needed in your pictures
