50. Use quality images in your auctions

^{Keep in mind that a quality web presence does not mean the larger the image file the better. If this is how you size your images, your digitally huge images will not have enough time to load before bidders click on another auction. So keep your image file size small, less than 100 kb should be good enough.}

^{Naturally, you can not upload what you do not have with you, so take the time to grab yourself a reliable point and shoot digital camera, you do not need an SLR just to shoot your merchandise, just follow these simple tips to get the job done:}

• ^{Set the right stage to do the shoot – a clean table will do with a neutral background}


• ^{If your camera does not have an “anti shake” feature, it is best to use a tripod for sharper images}


• ^{When outdoors, do not shoot in direct sunlight}


• ^{For products with damages or defects, show a close-up or macro shot of it}


• ^{Put something familiar like a CD to show your item’s relative size when needed}
