If you are disappointed in your auction sales results, maybe you should look at the details you include in your listings (or lack in your listings). Providing your customers with every possible answer to every possible question before they even ask... increases your likelihood of getting a bid.

Remember to include information about the size, weight, overall dimensions etc. People can not always visualize the size of a thing from a flat photograph.

Your photos should be clear and well detailed and your item should appear in those photos against a single color background. I recommend either white (high key), black or dark blue background colors.

Try to get some separation between your item and the background. This will make the item stand out and give it more detail. Our photos are shot in a dedicated studio with professional lighting and a large "light table". But you can use simple materials and lighting to accomplish nearly the same effect.

The point is to give the buyer all of the information they need to make a buying decision. Photographs are the best tools in your auction bag of tricks to accomplish that goal. Great descriptions are almost as important! Read more

This is a fine figurine from the Lladro factory. We sold this item on eBay at a higher than average price because the competitive sellers who did list a similar item during the same period did not have photographs which could compare with the offering we presented.

I think anyone can get the point of my last three posts...

Better Photos = Better sales!

What a piece, a gem of Australia!

Would you Buy This ring?

Check out my eBay Store to see if it is right for you but the point here is that eBay photos across the board should be better than average to increase sales.

Better Photos = More Bids!

Do you have a dedicated photo area set up to make the images of the items you earn your living from selling online? Do you skimp on photography because it is to hard to learn how to make a good photograph?

What is the difference between an average photo from an inexpensive digital camera and a photo like this?

Maybe a lot, if you are the buyer, maybe even more if your the seller... IF want to make more money on your listings!
