Marketing isn’t just about getting your message out there, it’s also about trying to get customers to purchase from you. A customer can’t physically hold the product or turn it around in their hands to look at it, so you have to provide that for them with images.

There are many sales lost everyday on eBay because of this one simple thing. Poor images.

When a potential customer searches through the eBay listings looking for the product they want to buy, they will encounter a list of matches to look at. Poor pictures on an auction will usually steer the customer away, because they can’t see the details on the image. That means for you, a lost sale or you will have to discount the product greatly to get rid of it, which hurts the market by devaluing the product.

So if your sales are hurting, check your images and description write-ups to see if there can be any improvements. You may find that the simple fix of taking great pictures of the products for sale and multiple pictures from different angles, will increase your sales.
