8 Imaging mistakes to avoid when uploading your Ebay auction photo
It is no secret that having professional looking photos that are
upscale in quality will help create more Ebay auction sales and
attract higher bid buyers. Each and every product that you sell
on Ebay, even it you are promoting a service, should have a
photo cropped and fit to please the eye.
As much of a positive impact that a decent photo has on your
business, the exact opposite will come into effect if you
display a distasteful photo of poor quality on your auction.
Even if your product is sound and your service is top notch this
still may never matter if your Ebay photo creates an illusion of
poor quality in the buyers eyes.
In order create good Ebay product photos then be sure to stay
clear from these common mistakes that are made my Ebay sellers
when creating their digital photo for the auction:
1. Glare: Along the lines of poor lighting, glare is the result
of improper flash usage. Try not to take your pictures head on
when wanting beautiful photos for your Ebay auction. Try instead
to shoot the product from an angle. Such angles are from the
left, from the right, or even from the top of the project.
Coming from an under angle also works for photos for your Ebay
auctions.
2. Cropping: Have you seen those Ebay auction pictures that have
the item in the middle of all of the background distractions?
Now that is very annoying to those viewing your Ebay auction.
You should crop everything that you take a photo for. Nobody
wants to see your messy bedroom or the garage where you took the
picture at and it may detour many from looking further into your
Ebay auction. Keep all distractions out of your Ebay photo by
cropping everything but the product. Trust me, your Ebay auction
will thank you for it in sales.
3. Background: Having a fancy background like countertop designs
or table garnishes only distract from your Ebay auction product.
Sure this may seem like something pleasant to do but this
mistake is very similar to not cropping properly in that it may
make your Ebay auction customer loose focus on what you are
selling.
4. Fuzzy images: If your Ebay auction images are fuzzy and
blurry to view then all you are telling the customer is that you
do not have
any consideration for detail and quality. This lack
of preparation with your Ebay photos will give the customer a
perception that you may just treat your products and customer
service with the same lack of attention. You have one chance
with your Ebay auction so be sure to check the focus before you
snap the photo and use a tripod if necessary to avoid blur.
5. Lighting quality: Do not deplete the value of your Ebay
auction by having dim lighting for your product photo. On the
other hand, too much lighting can also create a very bad picture
in the customers mind as they are viewing your Ebay auction. You
should take several snapshots of the product to view each photo
for lighting problems. Then begin your cropping.
6. Close up shots: There are some Ebay auction items that are so
small and need a closer look by the customer. Do you have these
close up photos in your Ebay auction? I strongly suggest that
you do not make the mistake of selling something like jewelry
but not including up close photos. Your camera should have a
zoom feature which can take very close shots of the item with
total accuracy.
7. Avoid reflective surfaces: This mistake that happens to many
Ebay auction photos falls into the categories of poor lighting
and blurry images. Light issues can really make or break your
Ebay sales if not attended to and reflective light can do the
same damage. Be sure to remove any shiny objects from the
background from the site where you are taking your Ebay Auction
photo to avoid this distraction.
8. Confusing combo shots: Do not take pictures and post multiple
items within the same block that your main item is for sale is
located. This will create confusion from the buyer and will
prevent your Ebay auction from making the sales that you want.
Customers have one thing in mind and the only product that you
should be posting is of a picture of the main single item.
