eBay takes whatever photo you upload and reduces the PPI (pixels per inch) to 72. 72 is a standard that was created in the 1980s!!!! The problem is when eBay incorporates the zoom feature into their image viewer that is still trying to enlarge a 72 PPI image, it becomes a grainy, blurry mess. (See example below, from a 32" 4K monitor). Phone PPI's are in the 200s.
THERE ARE NO MONITORS IN USE TODAY WHERE 72 DPI IS ACCEPTABLE. eBay uses this 80's standard as it saves a lot of storage space, but it is very outdated.
Monitors of today have a far higher PPI resolution (dependent on the resolution and the actual screen size). Some of this in controlled in the OS, but at a minimum, 96 PPI should be used (and I would love something even higher.) Attached is a photo of PPI sizes based on standard monitors.
eBay, please invest in raising the PPI of your converted images so that your zoom function does a better job at showing 'actual' detail, and not the blurry, 'created' pixels your zoom tool is showing.
