How to Add a Photo to your Listing
Step 1: Save a photo to your computer | Step 2: Edit your photo | Step 3: Copy your photo to the Web
On eBay a picture really is worth a thousand words. Including a photograph of your item with your listing description can help boost bidding. All you have to do is follow three simple steps and you'll soon be adding photos like a pro.
Save a photo to your computer
First, you'll need to save your photos as digital pictures (also called "electronic images"). To get started, choose the type of equipment or service that's best for you.

- Film camera and scanner- Take and develop a photograph with any kind of film camera and then use a scanner to convert your picture into an electronic image.
Scanners directly transfer pictures to your computer. All you do is lay the image on the scanning glass and follow the instructions supplied with your scanner.
You can place small or flat items (such as stamps or jewellery) on the scanning glass and create an electronic image without having to use a camera.
Note: If you don't have a scanner, you can get photos scanned at most branches of Kinko or Snappy Snaps; or you can use an online processing service such as Fotango. |

- Video camera and video tape- You can transfer pictures from your video camera or video tapes using a video capture device and software. You will need to speak to your PC manufacturer about what kind of video capture device is good for you.
