[QUOTE="yauman, post: 339494, member: 15418"] I'm a product photographer for a camera store on eBay so let me give you the spec. eBay will SQUARE any image you up load so if possible crop your images in 1:1 format. Export your jpeg as 1000x1000 pixels. You can do bigger but it's useless as eBay will down grade them for you. Save your jpeg images in MEDIUM quality - if using photoshop or lightroom, no more than quality setting of 60%. Don't waste your time and disk space to save at High or 100% - eBay will down grade them for you when you upload the images to their site. Take a look at the [URL="http://stores.ebay.com/seawoodphoto"]photo here - all the images are my work[/URL]. They are all exported as 1000 pixels on the long side - notice in some images which I didn't crop as a square (1:1), eBay makes it square and fills in with blank background. All images are export (by Lightroom) with quality setting at 50% . I have attached the settings page for my Lightroom export that I use. As for equipment I use mostly a Nikon D5000 - sometimes the D60 and a few with my D7100 (way overkill!) All images taken with Tamron 60mm Macro lens. All objects are lighted with 3 strobes, one on each side and one on top. Strobes 18"-24" from objects. Seamless background is a white 1/32" thick plastic sheet. All images shot tether to my MacBook Pro (15" Retina) Hope this helps. I'm happy to answer question about product photography for eBay as I do this for a living!
