How To Take And Manage Your Product Photos
Always make sure you have close-ups that show details which might otherwise get lost.
Ask yourself: “Are the product dimensions accurately shown?” and “Do potential customers grasp what the photo is about?” If you don’t make it clear what your listing is about, people will click away.
You can add up to five photos per listing, so use up all those slots without skimping on quality. This way, your customer will get as familiar with your product as possible.
Finally, plan ahead: save one or two good shots for later promotion, as suggested at #3. You never know when you get an opportunity to promote your listing and you need good photos on hand.
