Photos that sell

Use all five photo slots

Every listing gets up to 5 photos — use them all. One photo makes buyers guess; five makes them confident enough to hit Buy Now.

Use natural light

Shoot near a window in daylight. It shows true colors and texture — gym gear buyers want to see exactly what the knurling, stitching, and padding look like. Flash and yellow indoor lighting hide detail and kill trust.

Show every angle

• The full item, front and back.
• Close-ups of buckles, stitching, logos, and size tags.
• Any wear, scuffs, or fraying — up close, not hidden.
• Accessories included in the sale, laid out together.

Photograph the flaws

This feels backwards, but it sells more gear. A close-up of a scuff with an honest note tells buyers you're straight with them — and it protects you if they ever claim the item wasn't as described.

Skip the stock photos

Never use the manufacturer's product shots. Buyers are buying your used item, not a new one from a warehouse. Listings with stock photos get fewer sales and more disputes.
