How to take good eBay Product Photos without a Lightbox

RE: the above. When i put the pictures on ebay they don't look as good as they do in my pictures on my PC. Could somebody help me please?

Sorry tried putting pictures on but didn't work

i got a damn walk in shower, no bath

You can create your own infinity curve using a large sheet of light coloured paper placed between a floor and a wall, the kind of sheets of paper you get on a flipchart. This will work fine for smaller items like toys, dvd/cd's, books, jewellery, perfumes, watches, cameras, etc. Gives a nice clear view with no distracting backgrounds.

e.g.

Can't wait to try it, if I could get my girlfriend out of the bath long enough for me photogaph of the product!
I could always ask her to hold it......the product that is!!

Good idea. Men.
Have a nice day.

Brilliant idea, sometimes its the simple things that we never think of...

Its a cheap and easy way to make good pics...

Thanks for sharing this (I will be using this idea now

The original post is a brilliant idea, and yours is excellent also, for whoever doesn't have a bath; I've done similarly quite a few times.

Need to clean the bath then, or go to B&Q to buy the parts for a lightbox. It's the classic dilema of fun v cash lol.

we also sell products online in China. As our experience, the best way to make a photo is under the sunlight. you can try, and I believe that you will find this the best way.

Great post, I've been racking my brains the last few days trying to think of a way to get decent images after all of mine looked cheap and crap, I'll try this in the morning. :welldone:

Thanks a lot what. I will be giving this a try!

ebuyer sell a lightbox for £20-25 which is worth it for small items

Does anyone know any good software to get images with like a frame round them quickly in bulk you know like your business logo and |"uk seller" something like:-

At the moment im faffing around in paint but there must be something easier to get all my images looking similar with the same sort or frame logo and format applied to them

thanks

If you have photoshop you can record your actions and just click the play button, and it would repeat your actions on any other pictures.
For free editing programme try this- pixlr.com/editor/
It is like an basic photoshop and it is free. I guess it would be easier than paint? Hope this helps...

I have a template in photoshop with most of the stuff on there and just change the image and text when I need a new listing
