And Owen's not wrong; style and design experts from the Emily Henderson blog claim that sellers should put some style in their posts if they want to sell better and faster. You don't need to be an expert photographer but do use good lighting, a clean backdrop, and a thoughtfully styled shot.
Surprisingly, they also recommend omitting any pets from the photographs. "When buyers see pets in your photo, they assume the piece is going to have fur, odor, or damage. It doesn't matter if the rest of the photo is immaculate – you're just going to set yourself up for a headache," the bloggers write.
In many pics on this list, people claim that the item is "like new" and "works perfectly", when, in reality, it's pretty banged up. Scamming people is never nice, so, showing the imperfections of the item in the photos is a must, too. "Honesty is best and buyers will respect your transparency," Gretchen Ragues from EHD writes.
