just had a thought....my photos are 375 pixels x 500 pixels....when you click on the photo (within store) you get a black background which changes my photos to 1200 x 1600.....what size are yours?

Typically 1500 x 1500 px. I need people to be able to zoom in on the details (which is my other complaint - the compression makes them look foggy in the previews). Also, I figured a higher resolution was better because resolutions go up with time, not down (and I don't want to have to resize my 800 listing images anytime soon).

Not sure what you mean about the black background - mine have the grey overlay on the storefront and when I click into the listing, it's white (as I intended it to be). However, it's still foggy until I mouse over to zoom, and then it clears up (tested on desktop and mobile).

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit OCD with my images (if that wasn't already evident 🤣) and the inconsistency really bugs. I just cannot understand why they'd tell us to use white backgrounds wherever possible, and then dull them down with grey overlays. It's not the end of the world, but make it make sense, eBay!

Really appreciate your replies and help though, Twynnie (and I have referred a crafty friend to your store, as I'd actually never clicked on it before but she loves craft magazines 👍). Also - I think your pics look fine, personally.
