At least 5, ideally 8-12. More photos = more trust = more sales.
The numbers
- 1 photo: Minimum, but very low conversion
- 3-5 photos: Acceptable for cheap items
- 8-12 photos: Ideal — show the item from every angle
- eBay allows up to 24 photos — use as many as make sense
What photos to include
- Main image: Product from front, white background
- Back side
- Side view
- Details/close-ups (material, stitching, labels)
- Flaws/scratches (for used items — honesty pays off)
- Packaging/accessories
- Size reference (ruler or hand for scale)
Photo tips
- Natural light or softbox — no flash
- White or neutral background
- Smartphone is fine — but clean and sharp
