eBay’s photo rules (help page linked below) are about clarity more than exact sizes:
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum size | 500 px on the longest side |
| Recommended | 1600 px on the longest side, for zoom |
| Shape | Any, but square fills the gallery best |
| Not allowed | Borders, added text or artwork, stock photos for used items |
| Our recipe | 1600 × 1600 px, JPG |
Below 1600 px, eBay’s zoom shows soft, blurry detail. Far above it, photos take longer to upload on mobile data without looking any better on the listing. A 1600 × 1600 JPG is typically 300–800 KB, which uploads quickly even on a phone.
Bulk resize applies the same 1600 × 1600 recipe to every photo you drop in and gives you a ZIP. It runs on your device, so there is no upload wait; it takes up to 10 photos per batch, one ZIP each. Selling on several marketplaces? The Amazon and Etsy pages have their own sizes, so you can make a set for each.
Most phones take photos far bigger than 1600 px, so resizing makes them faster to upload on mobile data without losing anything buyers can see. iPhone photos are often HEIC; this page saves JPG automatically, which eBay accepts everywhere. If you photograph items in batches, keep the same spot, light and background each time, so your shop looks consistent and you can resize the whole set with one recipe.
eBay needs at least 500 px on the longest side and recommends 1600 px for the best zoom. A 1600×1600 square works for every listing.
No, but square photos fill the gallery thumbnail and search results evenly. Wide or tall photos get white bars.
eBay doesn't allow borders, text or artwork added to listing photos. Show only the item.
eBay allows many photos per listing. Use Bulk resize to prepare them all at the same size in one go.
