Gee!  I am often looking to buy certain items on ebay...I get them emailed from ebay's favorite searches...and I see one crappy little picture of an item starting at $25.00, or even $9.99.  The item should go for at least $30.  Well with that one little picture, I do not bid very much, if at all. 

If you think your item is worth something, for 75 cents extra you can list with up to 6 BIG CLEAR PICTURES!, that is what I want to see!  If the item has a lid, open it up and photo the inside! 

A 75 cent investment will get you at least  that much more in bids, a no brainer!

So you think, "Well gee I don't want bidders to see the crust or rust or that big dent on the inside or on the other side of my item".  Well ebayers, I do not want to pay top dollar and get a rusty crusty dented surprise!

If your pics turn out dark, or sideways, there is an excellent free picture viewer and editing program called Irfanview.  Just type irfanview into google, and the first listing is it.  I have used Irfanview for 9 years, 8 1/2 years for ebay listings.

Beware,

Irfanview will not remove crust or rust.  For those afflictions you will need to clean, or sand and repaint your item.  Dents???  Show em all!!!
