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.
