Download or read book Great EBay Photos the Easy Way written by Judy Wesener and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-05-28 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remember, this is not a book on how to be a professional photographer. It was written to give you straight-forward, easy to understand, instructions on how to quickly and easily take photos for online sales. This holds true whether you're selling on eBay, Amazon, or any other online site. Always keep in mind that a good picture can make the difference between a sale and no sale. Spending extra time on your photos will always be in your best interest. Listings without pictures, or with bad pictures, quite simply, is a really bad idea. You won't get the volume of traffic that a listing with a good picture will receive. Getting traffic to your listing is extremely important. If you don't get the traffic, your item won't sell for what it should or may not sell at all. The more professional looking your photos are, the better. Spend the extra time, your bank account will thank you! Revised March 2013
