but you're ready to part ways with that Vivienne Westwood corset you only wore one Halloween (cough), that cute vintage novelty sweater two sizes too big, or that sparkly Cynthia Rowley top that you realized isn't quite...you. Perhaps you're thinking of using the guilty pleasure of style-obsessors everywhere: eBay. True, it can be a hassle sometimes, but for now, it remains one of your best bets to send off that piece to an appreciative new home and earn some decent green in the process. In order to make the most of your listing, you must make the shopping process as Easy (with a capital E) for potential buyers as possible, aka, imagine your buyers are Lazy (with a capital L). We're here to help. First, put down the measly 3.0-megapixel cellphone cam, pull out your best camera (or borrow one), and read these easy tips that can have your eBay shop up, running, and successful in no time flat.
On Photographing
1.) Snap in the daytime. Bad news to those of you vampires, but broad daylight is the best light to take your shots. It's the easiest way to catch details, texture, and color of the garment through your lens.
2.) Play with your garment.Some items look better on a flat surface, or hanger, or an impromptu model (aka, probably you). If you want to show versatility, try styling an item casual-cool and then polished-chic (styling is especially important for no-name vintage pieces). A clean background is also key; A white wall is classic, but keep in mind a white blazer may pop more against another backdrop.
3.) Experiment with angles. Front and back views, and label pics (especially with designer pieces) are a must. If it's brand new, include the price tag. Side views and interesting details (hardware, sequins, etc.) deserve attention, too, so take full-lengths, as well as close-ups. Maybe pair it with another item you're selling (hello, product placement!). Take more photos now
