Step 1: Take Photos
In order to sell your items quickly, you will need digital photos (.jpeg is best) of your stuff. Take clear pictures with your phone or digital camera. Make sure that the photos are well-lit. For larger items (such as cars), you should get more than one angle. Save the files to your computer, and you will be ready to post. -
