Ebay Auction Secrets - The Importance of Adding Pictures To Ebay Listings

If you've ever browsed on Ebay, you will understand almost immediately why photos are so important. Chances are if you are looking for an item, you have some idea of how it should appear. Unlike written descriptions, you process images immediately. As a result, if an image is missing, customers will have to rely on the title, or go and read the text.

Unfortunately, when presented with over 100 items to select from, potential customers will simply keep scrolling until they find a picture that matches their expectations. Therefore, even if your product is cheaper or better, your potential customer will not even bother to look. This is especially important if you are selling highly visual items like clothing, jewelry, or toys.

Many people browse on Ebay without intending to purchase at that given moment. That said, impulse buying happens on Ebay just as easily as it can in any other market setting. The more attractive and clear your pictures are, the more likely it will be to gain useful attention. You should also be careful to use pictures that will look as good in larger version as they do in the listing thumb nails. While creating different size photos may take a little bit of extra time, it is well worth it.

Clear, well defined pictures, are essential to capturing the attention of Ebay customers. It is always important to remember that the job of the thumbnail picture is to get people to click on the description and read more about the product. You have only to think about your own Ebay browsing behavior to realize what a lack of images will do to your sales.
