How to take good photos to sell faster
The photo is the first thing a buyer sees, and often the only thing that decides whether they message you or scroll past. You don't need a professional camera: with your phone and a few simple tricks, your listings look more trustworthy and sell faster.
Use natural light
Shoot during the day, near a window, no flash. Natural light shows the item's real colors and condition. Avoid harsh shadows and night photos with yellow light: they look careless.
Neutral background, clean item
Place the item on a plain, distraction-free background (a wall, a cleared table). Clean it first: dust and clutter lower the perceived price. The star is what you're selling, nothing else.
Multiple angles and the details
Upload several photos: front, back, sides and close-ups of brands, serial numbers and any important detail. And show the flaws too: honesty builds trust and prevents returns and complaints.
Let the AI start from your photo
On Reloot, the same photo you use for a good listing works for the appraisal: the AI recognizes the item, estimates its resale value and writes the listing. A good photo = better appraisal and better listing.
