Where do I get stock photos on ebay?

Sometimes you can find them in the Product Catalogue. Start with the UPC. There may be one associated with your item. Whatever you do, do NOT copy and paste another ebay seller's photographs to accompany your listing. This is a big no-no and against policy.

It can be a problem using Stock Photos for used items, btw.

If you are selling a New In Box item or a used item, include a picture of the actual item that he will be sent.

Posing your doohickey on something obviously not 'professional' is a sort of fuzzy guarantee that you really do have the item in hand.

Good pictures of course, I mean on a clean tabletop with a tablecloth and maybe a bit of the room showing.

 

Not, like a dress I once saw for sale on the bathroom floor with the commode in the background.

 

We will not mention electric kettles here.

Femmefan is right. If you're selling used items, you are obligated to show the condition of your actual item. Also, if you're looking for stock and the catalogue here doesn't have it, try the manufacturer. They'll also have item details, weight, dimensions etc. 

 

Now I'm scared to ask about electric kettles.... what is it? Do you have to say 'water not included'?

 

I'd add that if you're taking pics of an article of clothing, be careful not to show your naked self in a mirror image.

Oh! Wait, i get it. You'd have to say 'naked man not included'.
