- Create pictures between 250-400 pixels in height and width!
- All pictures must be 72 pixels/inch resolution or less. A higher resolution is a waste of bandwidth because it does not show up in the screen display.
- Take pictures of everything. You may not post them with the ad, but interested buyers should see these photos!
- After you create the ad, you can preview it, and another screen comes up where you can upload photos from your hard drive. You can upload up to three photos per
ad.

Taking photos that sell!
- Make sure that it is clean!
- Decided if your tack looks better modeled on a horse or on a stand. The same goes with horses. Does the horse look better with or without take. With saddle do not lay them on the floor and take pictures. They distorted then. Zoom in your tack or horses! Make it fill the picture and have a coherent angle. Do not take the picture from a strange angle that distorts things.
- When scanning in can make a far away picture look good if the photo is blown up enough.
It will turn out blurry if it scanned in at high resolution or low resolution.
Have the photo blown up made at a local photo shop first, and than scan it in.
- Use good equipment. If do have a good camera. As a friend!
- Take the picture with lots of light. Brown indoors (indoor riding rings) blend in
with items or horses to easily.
Getting photos on a computer:
- Go to Kinko's or any local copying shop. Use their computer services to scan
images on yourself, or pay someone to.
