Take the best pictures you can. Try to make the item look good, not by hiding detail but by good framing, good lighting and good color balance. I normally shoot against a white background with +.5 exposure compensation so the object will blend nicely into the white webpage background. Don't put up too many pictures, one or two good ones is normally enough. Picture resolution is 400 by 400 pixels square, keep that in mind when you're framing. Resize / crop the pictures yourself. Give all the detail you have, including the bad things. Aim for people's trust and 100% positive feedback, not for maximum profit. In the long run you'll make more money and it'll be a more pleasant experience. Ebay is on the world wide web so please ship everywhere in the world and give shipping costs for every country, you can get estimates at USPS web site. Saying you don't ship to China, Indonesia (or France) doesn't get you anywhere, all countries do bad things and it's not people's fault. Joaquim
