eBay Image Requirements Explained
Listing Images
- • Size: 1600 × 1600 pixels (recommended) or minimum 500 × 500 px
- • Maximum: Up to 9000 × 9000 pixels
- • Format: JPEG (.jpg), PNG (.png), GIF (.gif), BMP (.bmp), or TIFF (.tif)
- • File size: Maximum 12MB
- • Limit: Up to 24 images per listing (12 free, additional photos may incur fees)
Picture Quality Standards
- • Square aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) recommended for consistency
- • White background: Recommended for main product photo (not required)
- • Product fill: Product should be clearly visible and fill most of frame
- • No borders: Avoid adding decorative borders or frames
- • Authentic: Images must accurately represent the item being sold
Why 1600×1600 Is Optimal
eBay's zoom feature activates at 1600×1600 pixels, allowing buyers to examine product details closely. This size provides excellent image quality without exceeding file size limits, and works perfectly across desktop and mobile devices.
⚠️What to Avoid
- • Stock photos only: Include at least one photo of your actual item
- • Watermarks: Don't add watermarks or text overlays to images
- • Promotional text: No pricing, contact info, or promotional messages in images
- • Blurry photos: Use well-lit, in-focus images only
Best Practices for eBay Sellers
- Use 12 free photos: More images build buyer confidence
- Show every angle: Front, back, sides, top, bottom, and detail shots
- Highlight condition: Show any wear, damage, or imperfections clearly
- Include measurements: Use a ruler or measuring tape in photos
- Natural lighting: Well-lit photos sell better - avoid harsh shadows
- Clean background: Plain white or neutral backgrounds work best
eBay Photography Best Practices
Photography Strategy for eBay Success
Show Every Angle
Use eBay's 12 free image slots to show your item from all perspectives. Front, back, sides, top, bottom, and close-ups of important details. More photos = more buyer confidence = fewer returns.
Highlight Condition Accurately
For used items, photograph any wear, scratches, or imperfections clearly. Honest representation reduces disputes and negative feedback. eBay buyers appreciate transparency.
Include Size References
Place a ruler, coin, or common object next to your item to show scale. This is especially important for collectibles, electronics, and clothing where size perception matters.
eBay vs Other Marketplaces
eBay has the most flexible image requirements among major marketplaces:
While eBay is flexible, white or neutral backgrounds still perform better. Our tool helps you maintain professional white backgrounds for Amazon while creating eBay-optimized versions.
