How To Take An Amazing eBay Photo Without A Camera

So, you found something you want to sell on eBay, but don’t own a digital camera yet?

I can’t think of anyone who don’t have a digital camera nowadays, at least everyone should be using a mobile which has digicam capabilities.

Well, if you really really don’t… then you need a scanner. And this method works really good for items like postcards, magazines, catalogues and small items which lie flat like thumb drives, scrapbook embellishments, and the stuff.

Step 1 - Get ready some items:

1. your item (for this example, the thumbdrive is used)

2. a blank sheet of white paper

3. scanner

4. probably photo editing software

Step 2 - Warm Up Your Scanner and Prepare Your Item

Put your item on the scanner and cover it with the white sheet of paper.

Step 3 - Press the Scan Button And Finish

Use a really blank paper on both sides. Otherwise, you’d end up like the picture below - some funny shades on the background of your item.
