The rules

A photo that breaks a rule marked rejected is refused or suppressed; a recommended one is advice. The photo check measures each of them on your photo.

  • Rejected At least 500 px on the longest side
  • Rejected At most 12 MB a file
  • Rejected In JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WebP, HEIC or AVIF
  • Rejected No added text, logos, watermarks or borders
  • Recommended At least 1,600 px on the longest side — EBay recommends about 1600 px on the longest side.
Check by eye
  • No stock photos for used, damaged or defective items; photos must show the actual item accurately.
  • A white or neutral background works best; centre the item and fill the frame.
The fix makes
1,600 × 1,600 px, JPEG, under 12 MB. Added text is painted out where the marketplace forbids it, and a photo under its minimum size is upscaled.
