Quick Tips for eBay
Use at least 1600 x 1600 pixels for the zoom feature. Images under 500 x 500 will be rejected by eBay.
eBay strongly prefers white or neutral backgrounds for the main image. Cluttered backgrounds reduce buyer trust.
Upload up to 24 images per listing. More photos = more buyer confidence. Show every angle, defect, and accessory.
No watermarks, borders, or text overlays. eBay may remove listings that violate image policies.
Include a photo with a size reference (ruler, coin, hand) for items where scale matters.
Product must occupy at least 60% of the image frame. Too much empty space makes listings look unprofessional in search results.

Compress VideoFrequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum image size for eBay?
eBay requires a minimum of 500 x 500 pixels but recommends 1600 x 1600 pixels for the best zoom experience. Images larger than 1600px provide better zoom quality. Maximum file size is 12 MB per image.
How many photos can I add to an eBay listing?
eBay allows up to 24 free photos per listing. Use as many as needed to show all angles, details, flaws (for used items), accessories, and packaging. More photos correlate with higher sell-through rates.
Does eBay require a white background?
eBay does not strictly require white backgrounds (unlike Amazon), but strongly recommends them for the main image. White or neutral backgrounds improve search result appearance and buyer trust. For used items, contextual backgrounds are more acceptable.
Can I add watermarks to eBay images?
No, eBay prohibits watermarks, logos, borders, and promotional text on listing images. Violations may result in listing removal or search ranking penalties. eBay watermark policy is strictly enforced.
