eBay Product Image Requirements
eBay has explicit image rules. Following them is non-negotiable for the main image; bonus slots are where you sell.
Main image rules
Usually: pure white background, product fills 85%+ of frame, no logos, watermarks, or text overlays.
Additional images
Lifestyle, detail, and scale shots help buyers imagine the product. 5-9 additional slots is typical.
Tech specs
Minimum 1000x1000 pixels for zoom. JPEG with sRGB color profile. Under 10 MB.
Avoid common rejections
Watermarks, lifestyle as main image, blurry shots, illustrations instead of photos.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use stock photos?
Only if you own the rights and eBay's rules allow.
Do I need a studio?
No — a window, white sheet, and phone is enough.
