Book overview

Before you try to sell anything on eBay, remember that potential customers will not be able to examine or try out your product before laying down their money-sometimes a lot of money! You need to make sure that every element of your eBay listing is top-notch, especially your pictures.

Synopsis (Foreword by Rick Smolan)

32-page color insert and black & white photos throughout

Perhaps the most important key to success for sellers on eBay is providing good photographs of their products. In eBay Photography the Smart Way, eBay expert Joseph Sinclair teams up with professional product photographer Stanley Livingston to give readers easy-to-follow instructions for taking better pictures, helping them show off their products to the greatest possible effect. Paving the way for higher profits, the book shows how to:

* shop for and buy a digital camera
* shoot any kind of product
* photgraph and display entire product inventories
* create great thumbnails
* process photos with image editors
* use angles, lighting, studio props, and backgrounds
* organize process and work flow

On eBay, better pictures mean higher sales. eBay Photography the Smart Way reveals how to take great photos that give customers the confidence to buy online what they can't see in person.
