Digital or Photo Images

Hi Guys,

wanted your opinions before i continued with my image updates,

as we all know images are king 🙂

i have prepared 2 listings i with a photo that still needs a bit better lighting but you get the idea and a listing with Photoshoped images.

if you were after these products which would you prefer to see?

Thanks for all the replies, i'm trying to figure out what the problem is with the load time? thanks for pointing that out as i know that is a massive thing.

any ideas?

Personally i prefer an UNphotoshopped pic. A true pic of the item. Try using a lower resolution and pic size for a quicker load.

I would hit the back button before either photo loaded and even if that were speeded up I would hate both of them. They are more about you than about the item, eventually you are not going to be allowed to have text on gallery pics anyway so why not get rid of them now, a discreet store name is one thing but yours just look like blatant self promotion.

The photo you have in the listing is a million times better than your ebay pic, I would take photos of that quality and use those.

I presume with the load time you are using hosted pics for the ebay one, only problem with that, aside from slow load, is if your hosting site goes down there are no pics. If you use a pic from your computer for at least the first pic then it will not only load quicker you have belt and braces.

Hay Guys,

i have updated the listing with a photo with your recommendations taken into account 🙂

Let me know if this is any better 🙂

[pimpndecals]

o i lowered the image sizes in the listing is the load time any better?

[pimpndecals]

I actually found that quite a few people did not know what the products were and had a few refunds / disputes about about it so i included it to cover myself 🙂

not sure where you seen leather i went over it and couldn't see it anywhere?

[bsal6160]

Item description is where.

White iPhone 4 / 4s PU Leather Flip Case, Cover

How could you not see it? You typed it in as the item description.

[pimpndecals]

are you talking about the 2 listings i provided links for or another from my store?

[chuk_77]

ok in the link up there, load time is quick again.

but if you want me to be really really picky? you have a couple of typos in your listing

[bsal6160]

geesh, how can you not know. YOU put them there. And enough of the blatant self-store promotion.
