I had a Panasonic Lumix DMCZS19 for years I used to take a eBay photos with, it’s easier for me to create listings on my desktop than it is for me to do them with my smart phone🥲 has to do with my age, I’m assuming. If anybody can give me some suggestions of an, easy to use camera for photos for Ebay to get high definition, close-ups wide-angle I would appreciate it very much ! Thanks

The two are not mutually exclusive.
I take the pictures on my iPhone and do the listings on my desktop.
I just plug my phone into my computer and copy the photos form my iPhone to my desktop.

Although I could take close-up photos really close to my Barbie dolls, their faces looked distorted compared to my Samsung Note 20 Ultra camera. I use 2x zoom, which keeps the smartphone shadow out of the photo, for full length photos and 5x zoom for faces, hands, feet, etc.
Right; I should have mentioned in my last post that I flatten the perspective on smaller items by zooming the camera in from a distance, not putting it close to the subject. That avoids the big-nose-small-face effect you get from getting the camera too close in an effort to fill the frame. Most of the items in my listings are photographed from about 2 feet away, using a tripod and 2-second timer.

Buy a replacement Panasonic Lumix DMCZS19 from an eBay seller.
I have bought many used exact replacement items rather than new items.
1) I don't have study an owner's manual and learn a new brand/model.
2) I don't need the owners manual, accessories or cable. I have all of that.
3) There is no installing and configuring. Just plug it in.
Otherwise, buy a Kodak C330.

I have a newer model of the Lumix. It takes awesome shots, especially macro which I need for close ups on my items. As far as a smart phone, no way. I'm a camera girl all the way. I would stick with the Lumix. As far as an photo editing feature, eBay has a very good one. Your photos are good & clear, but they need to be brightened up a bit. Give it a try. When you're editing your photos there's a little pencil on the left hand side of the frame. Click on it & you'll see all the editing options you can use. I was pleasantly surprised as I have always used Adobe to clean up my photos.
Happy Snapping and Selling!

Thank you so much for your information. I just saw this post. I know it’s been a while but I don’t know how to navigate through eBay very well what model do you have

I use my pixel 7 pro, nearby share them to a desktop, drop them in a sync folder that syncs them to all my devices, and usually use my laptop to list. I do have a nice-ish Nikon but hate plugging up usb's or card readers.

I had a 10 year old Cannon powershot that I liked it and was used to it, when it needed replaced I found a
like new one right here on ebay for a great price because the demand for 10 year old cameras is pretty low.
I have a laserjet printer that if it dies I will try to do the same.
