Adding pictures to your listing
![]()
Standard features and upgrade optionsYou can add 1 picture for free with each listing. The picture appears in your listing and next to your item's title in search results. This picture, also called the gallery picture, is always copied from the first picture you add to your listing, and it's the same as the picture that's automatically displayed at the top left of your listing. The gallery picture is generated after a listing is accepted. It usually appears in a few minutes, but may be delayed by a few hours when the eBay site is very busy. You can also add up to 11 more pictures per listing. These pictures all display in a viewer at the top left of your listing. In some cases, fees apply for additional photos. We store standardised copies of your photos on eBay, and they stay in your completed listings for up to 90 days, so they can be re-used when you relist or sell similar items. When fees apply, your additional pictures plus upgrades to display larger pictures in your listing are available for a single, discounted fee with the Picture Pack listing upgrade. You can also use the Gallery Plus listing upgrade to show larger pictures that appear in search results. Using the photo uploaderTo add pictures to your listing:

To replace a picture with a newly edited version, select Revise your item in My eBay or Seller Hub to delete the existing picture from your listing, and then upload the picture again. Replacing a picture copied from a web address If you're using a picture uploaded from a web address in your listing, and you'd like to replace the picture, you must use a new URL.
For Good ‘Til Cancelled listings If you're replacing a current picture that doesn't meet our requirements, be sure to update your listing with the new URL once you’ve uploaded your new picture to the web. Our system won’t be able to find your updated picture if you haven't changed the URL in your listing. If you don't revise your listing with a new URL, your listing could be cancelled Best practices and quality standardsTo make sure buyers get a good look at the item they're thinking about purchasing:
Before you start the upload process, rename your photo files with names that will help you remember what they are, and put them in a folder on your computer where you can find them quickly and easily in case you need them again.
