How to Take Great Photos for Your Equipment Listings
High-quality photos are essential for making your equipment listings stand out and building buyer confidence. This guide will walk you through exactly what to capture to create a complete, compelling listing that helps your equipment sell faster.
Why Photos Matter
Great photos give buyers a clear understanding of what you're selling, reduce back-and-forth questions, and make your listings look more trustworthy and professional. The more detail you can show, the better.
Required Photo Angles
To fully showcase your equipment, we recommend taking clear photos of the following:
- Front view
- Back view
- Left side
- Right side
- Serial number plate (clear and legible)
- Internal components (any moving or critical internal parts)
- Interior cabinet (if accessible and relevant)
- Robot or automation hardware (if applicable)
Tip: Take wide shots first to show the full unit, then follow up with close-ups for detail.
Additional Tips for Better Results
- Use good lighting: Natural or bright indoor lighting helps make your photos clearer.
- Keep it steady: Use a tripod or steady your hands to avoid blurry images.
- Clear the background: Remove clutter so the focus stays on the equipment.
- Photograph damage or wear: Transparency builds trust.
By following these guidelines, you’ll create a stronger, more informative listing that helps buyers feel confident—and helps your equipment sell faster.
