Focus On The Details
Details are key.
Ebay currently allows you to include 12 images in your auction
without any additional upgrade fees.
 
Seize this opportunity to include pictures of the finer details such as
Dates, Model #'s, Hallmarks, or A Manufacturer's Name,
that your customer will appreciate.

Keep in mind,
Your buyers are unable to pick up your item and examine it.
 
They are relying on you to provide as much detail as possible.
Don't let them down.
Are Your Pictures Large Enough?
Ebay now allows your buyers to enlarge your images.
They simply hover their mouse over
the main picture frame similar to the example below.
 
Try It! Hover Your Mouse Over The Image.

This just gives you a little wiggle room.
