eBay For Beginners: How to take pictures & list - Join our ebay reseller group here: whop.com/thesellersnetwork/
Step 1 how to take pictures of your items: Use a camera if you want, but for just starting out, most of us have a phone that can take quality pics. Take your pictures in 1:1 aspect ratio “square mode” take at least 4 pictures, we try to take 6-8 per listing. Show any flaws, size, take a picture of measurements. Use decent lighting, white background. Transfer your pictures to a computer if you have one, if you don’t, you can list from your phone. Desktop is faster and better.
Step 2 How to list your items on ebay: use the “sell one like this option” change the title to fit your needs, upload your own pictures, edit them if necessary. Input all item specifics. Create a simple description. Add a return policy, add a shipping policy, flat rate or free shipping. Check how your listing is going to look before going live. Post it to ebay.

you wouldn’t believe how many listings on ebay or facebook marketplace i intentionally pass up on because of how bad the pictures are. if an open deodorant stick, a half eaten plate, and dirty clothes are in the background of the playstation you are selling, you probably aren’t the best person to buy from

I agree but I have to say this. People are buying new and USED stuff. They are not buying it from a department store. When you go to garage sales to buy stuff to resale. You don't say hey I would buy that if your garage was cleaner and your driveway was power washed.

@@christicrenshaw2772you don’t say it but you def will walk away if you can tell the people are nasty. It would take a lot of persuading to buy someone’s stuff that was bug filled, smelled of cigs, and house falling apart. There’s a difference between dirty and nasty.

I have found that donatiting to charity instead of promoting the listing works well for me. It is a 10% minimum, but it bumps your listing up in the search. In my eyes, I would rather the "promotion fee" go to a charity & help someone. It's also a great way to document charitable donations for your taxes.

I do sleeve length as well .. I show a tape measure in the pics . Your way is nicer just not sure I have room to store more things. I also use the floor to get flat lay measurements because again no space plus I can take photos of the item with the ruler in the pics as well. I like the over sized hanger trick . I use a dress form I got for free off craigslist from an retiring seamstress

Hi from Queensland Australia. Ryan your straight forward way of explaining is really great, just would like to say thank you for that. Our eBay system is a tad different, but the listing page is close enough. However, the postage, this shirt would cost $14.95 AUD to ship in country, (fun), which is about $10 USD. Looking forward to learning more from your videos, and judging from the comments below, I definitely will. Yours is only the 6th channel I have subscribed to, so I'll definitely check out previous videos. This weekend, my to do list - 1. mow lawn, 2. Make GIANT HANGER :-)

Also, do you use a cross listing app, and if so, do you create your listings in the app and push to platforms?

I’ve found (at least for me) it’s faster to use my iPhone to take photos of the items I plan on listing on a given day. Then I create the actual listings on my laptop for all of the listings. Then I’ll go back to my iPhone and using the eBay app I’ll go to the drafts (where all the listing I just created on my laptop will be located) and add and edit the photos. Then just click “list”.
