1. Purchase a quality camera that takes HD photos. However, the downside of this is that they are expensive and come with a learning curve. But on the other hand, no one will buy anything if the photo is blurry. HD photos scream professionalism and high-quality items. It would be worth it to invest in a camera that helps your buyers make the right decision.

2. Details of the item that you are selling are very important. One photo isn’t enough to get the whole idea of the object that you are selling. Whether it be 3, 4, or even 5 pictures, the item that is being sold should have a picture for the top, bottom, sides, etc. Buyers shouldn’t be curious to what they are purchasing.

3. The first photo they see should be the entire thing. Don’t leave anything out. The buyer wants to see the whole thing, whether it be good or bad.

4. The next couple photos should be from different angles, so the buyer can see depth, width, etc. Make sure that these are all clear pictures. If you don’t take a picture from a certain angle, buyers will know you are trying to hide something, whether it be something that is broke or something unfixable. Better to be honest from the very beginning than to lose credibility.

5. The item that you are selling should be clean and presentable. You can do everything right with taking the picture, but if the item you are selling is dirty and looks undesirable, it will not sell.

6. Along with the high-resolution images, add a description that tells a story of each item. People like stories, and they bring a meaning to the item which increases its value. Always be honest though, and if you have a picture to prove the story, insert it to show buyers its true worth.

Using all these strategies and tips, you can be sure that the photo will not be turning your buyers away. Online auction photos are very important for the auction, so take your time going through each step to make sure you are receiving the best outcome for your auction.
