Casual Articles - Do Pictures Help Your eBay Selling?
Rick, I have a salesman that does a pretty good job but he is always whining about something. He takes up a tremendous amount of my time, inside sales and anybody else that will listen. I don’t want to fire the guy because he does put up decent numbers. What do you suggest?Joe, VP of Sales, Building Products IndustryDear Joe;Wow! If I used this term with my wife she’d probably take my head off but you have what is typically kn

PaintShopPro is a popular option. It has just the right balance of "ease of use" versus clever features.
You need this type of software to achieve a couple of things. First, to get your picture into JPEG or GIF file format - these are the only two image formats accepted by eBay. Next, to make sure the file size of the image is less than 50Kb - anything larger will result in your image taking an
According to Rob Sheehan, director of executive education at the James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership at the University of Maryland, “Being a good boss is important in any organization, but it’s particularly important for small business. With smaller businesses, you really have the opportunity to set the tone for the entire company.” There are several characteristics, traits, and attitudes that seem to be prevalent among executives that a
There are exceptions of course, but in general I find a picture is worth a thousand words on eBay.
Having established the case, how do you get pictures onto your auctions?
Let's first of all consider how and where to get a picture of your item. There are three options:
a) Use a digital camera
b) Use a scanned image
c) Use a "library" photo
a) Use a digital camera
If you have a digital camera, you can photograph your items for auction. You will know that pictures taken by your digital camera can be loaded onto your PC.
b) Use a scanned image
If you have a scanner, or access to one, you can take an "old fashioned" photo of your item, and scan it into your computer. You may be able to scan the item itself if it is of a certain shape and size eg book, card etc.
c) Use a "library" photo
If your item is a standard branded product you may be able to search the internet and find images of the product. If you find one that is appropriate, place your mouse pointer over the picture and right click. In most cases you will be able to "Save Picture As..", and thus save it on your PC. Be aware that copyright laws apply here, and you mustn’t copy any pictures from the internet unless you have the rights or permission to do so.
Having now got a picture of your item on your PC, whether by a digital camera, a scanner or a library shot, you can usually improve it by using photo-editing software. You probably already have this software if you have a digital camera or a scanner. If you don't have such software, you can find shareware or freeware versions at sites such as these:

Nickel based alloys such as Monel 400, Inconel 718, Inconel 600, Inconel 625 have widespread industrial uses. These alloys are most widely used in highly corrosive environments or high temperature environments. The price of nickel has skyrocketed over the last several years and demand has increased creating short-term shortages of material.Bloomberg.com reports on May 10, 2006 “Nickel futures rose to a seven-month high in London as demand

Maybe not quite as dramatic as that but things definitely seem to be moving in the right direction. Job security has been the mantra for many during the last five years and, just as follows a weak property market, confidence takes time to build. IT professionals however have been using this time to expand their technical skills and to try and increase their value to existing employers. At times business survival strategies have taken precedent and

This tactic of the game was hard for me to master and at first I failed many times. I carried my business cards only in my briefcase, because I thought they were only used in business. Wrong! I missed quite a few opportunities to toot my horn because of that misconception. Not only did I miss the opportunity, but when it did arise, I looked like an amateur. Here’s what happen on one of those occasions.One day while standing in a bank l

You need this type of software to achieve a couple of things. First, to get your picture into JPEG or GIF file format - these are the only two image formats accepted by eBay. Next, to make sure the file size of the image is less than 50Kb - anything larger will result in your image taking an unacceptable length of time to load onto your auction page.
Once you have your picture ready, and stored on your own PC, you can now include it in your eBay listings.
For many items a single picture is fine. If, however, you want to add further pictures to your auction listing, there are two options.
You can DIY multiple pictures onto your auction page by having your images hosted on the internet, somewhere. Your own ISP has probably given you an amount of free web space - you can use this to host pictures for your auctions. Wherever you store them, each picture has its own unique address (URL) and this is the reference you use in your auction description to access your images.
For ultimate flexibility, if you do have web space available to you, and you place some images in this space, you can show these photos anywhere on your auction page. You will need to know HTML coding to achieve this, but it is well worth the effort.
The other option is to use eBay’s Picture Service. This is very easy to use, and lets you add multiple pictures to your auction page - for a price.
It's worth learning how to include images in your eBay auctions. It will repay you a thousand times!
