Photos per auction

[gunsmoker]

Is there any way to use more than 24 photos per auction?

More pics higher fee? price per pic?

    Thanks,

You actually think buyers are going to take the time to look at 24 pics??  You can put more pics in the description of your listing.

But what could possibly need more than 24 pics?

@gunsmoker  24 images is the max with any one item.

You can add a video.

You could use a photo collage maker app, turn a few pics into one. I’ve done that before.

As tails_of_nye_county has mentioned.

Yes that is a lot of pictures and there are ways to use more than the 24 images without having to go over the limit . If you have an item that needs close ups of damage, details or lots, there are collage apps/programs that allow you to combine pictures. Many times you will see these types of pictures with 4 smaller boxes  (divided equally) within 1 picture. Some will use this type/method when they are taking pictures of lots.

Here are some examples to understand how it is applied or why. It is not always a good idea and some things may be better to do this way. These are just examples to illustrate how or why.

I have used the collage method not to get more pictures but to limit how many pictures potential customers will have to view. At times i will sell a lot of 4 guitar pedals. I would take 1 picture of the lot of all 4, 1 picture of each pedal front facing and than would use the quad collage for each pedal. (quad would include front, back, left side, right side) This way it makes is easier on the eyes trying to view exactly what i am selling without having the customer view 20 some pictures.

Other ways to use to do when you need more than 24 pictures.

A lot of 12 marbles that you would like to take 4 pictures of each marble showing markings within 1 picture. You can also take a few pictures of the whole lot together but this way you can show condition/markings on each as well. - 49 pictures of 12 items

A lot of 80 Matchbox cars which you could take a picture of the complete lot and include 20 pictures that would have 4 cars within 1 picture (quad picture) - Total of 21 pictures for 80 items

If i had valuable items that needed more detail than a few pictures, i would consider adding a video that could give customers some piece of mind that you are trying to sell/point out.

Edit. Add photo of app

Yep, a collage app.

Sometimes reading all of the replies to posts before posting can save you a lot of time. 😂

I blame it on lack of coffee.

One option is to combine two of your photos into a single image file.
That would let you put 48 photos in the 24 images you are allotted.

Thanks for the info.

The second pix of all my listings is that of size.

I still get questions;  "How long is this ..."  "Is this the small one that goes on the front ...?"

The fifth or so pix is the back, "Does it have all its pegs?  Is the old adhesive removed?"

Gee, I dunno, lemme go to the listing and LOOK AT THE PICTURES and answer your question.

smh

I used one of those back when we could only have up to 12 pics for free.  I really liked it and it worked very well for me.  This is a VERY good idea.
