Tips
- Aim for 1600 px on the longest side. Below that, buyers can't zoom in as well.
- Photos under 500 px are rejected when you upload.
- Don't add text, logos, watermarks or decorative borders. eBay's photo rules discourage them and they can affect how your listing shows.
- If your photo isn't square, pad it with white rather than cropping so the whole item shows. White blends into eBay's page.
- A plain, bright background helps your photo stand out in busy search results.
