How to take good eBay Product Photos without a Lightbox
Hello all,
I have noticed quite a few threads about taking photos of a good standard for ebay listings.
The priority for all ebay photos is to make sure the image is clear, fills the frame and has no distractions in the background.
For those who don't want to pay an additional expense for a lightbox and do not want to use up time cutting out images in a photo suite, here is a cheap and cheerful alternative which will give you very acceptable results.

Re: How to take good eBay Product Photos without a Lightbox
I've seen this idea before but its not something that many think of. Thank you so much for taking the time to post it here for our members.
I've made it a sticky for this month so that people can put this cost saver into action.
