If you sell on eBay (or anywhere else), you need every possible competitive advantage. Here’s one of the best: great pictures. Pictures that make an emotional connection with your customer. Pictures that show what really matters. Pictures that sell. Most eBay photos are lousy. You can do way better. This book shows how. It could pay for itself on your very next sale.

Dan Gookin and Robert Birnbach reveal product photography secrets any seller can use: where to shoot, how to light, what to leave in, what to crop out, what to use photo editing software for. Along the way, they offer tips for shooting everything from old magazines and baseball cards to jewelry and clothes. Oh, and since the idea is to make money, they show how to do it all “on the cheap,” without fancy equipment.
