Photos are the closest a shopper gets to picking up your box before they buy. Clear, bright photos show what arrives each month and what it's worth.
How Many Photos You Need
- 5 photos to publish. A new listing needs at least 5 photos before you can publish it.
- 8 or more fills your gallery. This is our advice, not a rule.
- Up to 30 photos, 1200 x 800 pixels or larger.
Already live with fewer than 5 photos? Your listing stays live, and you can keep editing it without adding photos, as long as you don't remove any.
The photo section of your listing counts as you go. On a new listing it shows numbered empty spots up to 5, then tells you how many more fill your gallery.
What to Show
Start with these five, in this order:
- Your box, closed
- Everything inside, laid out
- One item up close
- Another item up close
- Someone opening or using it
Your first photo is the cover shoppers see first. Drag photos to reorder them.
Tips for Strong Photos
- Shoot in bright light, on a plain light background where you can.
- Show only what comes in the box. Lifestyle shots of someone using it are the exception.
- Make the cover set clear expectations of what arrives.
- Update your photos when the contents change.
- Add alt text to each photo. See Using Alt Text on Your Marketplace Product Listing.
