At least 500 pixels on the longest side, and 1600 to enable zoom. eBay requires a plain background on the main photo and prohibits borders, text and watermarks.

How to use the ebay image size

1 Read the dimensions above. That is the whole answer if the spec is all you came for.

2 Drop your own image in to check it against the spec — size, aspect ratio and file weight are each checked separately.

3 Turn on the safe zone to see what gets cropped or covered, then download the cropped version at the exact size.

eBay enforces the main-photo rules and will block a listing that breaks them: no added borders, no text or graphics overlaid, no watermarks, and no placeholder or stock images for a used item. Zoom is the reason to reach 1600 — buyers use it to check condition, and for used goods that is exactly what they are trying to establish, so a listing without zoom raises questions the photographs should have answered. You get twelve photo slots free, and using most of them is one of the cheapest ways to reduce returns and questions.
