Five photos that make your ad sell faster

• 1. Wide shot in daylight — the whole item, clean background
• 2. Close-up of the best detail or brand label
• 3. Honest shot of any scratch or defect
• 4. Item in use or in a room, for scale
• 5. Accessories, receipt or warranty card

Shoot near a window, wipe the item first, and never use a filter — buyers assume filters hide damage and will low-ball you.
