Photo requirements

Good photos are the most important factor in selling quickly. Buyers can't smell the fragrance — clear, honest photos build the trust that closes the sale.

What you'll learn​

  • Which five photos are required
  • How to take great listing photos
  • What photos will cause your listing to be rejected

Required photos​

Every listing needs these 5 photos:

  1. Front, standing — Place the bottle on a flat surface and show the full label clearly.
  2. Front, in hand — Hold the bottle with the label facing the camera so buyers can see its scale and condition.
  3. Side and fill level — Show the full side profile. If the bottle is transparent, make the fill line clear.
  4. Batch code — Photograph the base in sharp focus so the complete lot or batch code is legible.
  5. Top, cap and nozzle off — Remove the cap, then use light pressure to lift the whole sprayer out. Lay it beside the bottle and photograph directly from above so the spray hole and metal crimping are clear.

Additional useful photos:

  • Side view of the bottle
  • Close-up of the label/cap
  • Original box and accessories
  • Receipt or order confirmation
  • Any flaws or scratches (required if condition is Fair or Heavily Used)

:::warning No nozzle off, no listing Do not use excessive force or damage the bottle. If the sprayer will not come out safely, choose Cannot safely remove the nozzle? in the photo step. Your work is saved as a private draft and admin is notified, but the listing cannot be submitted or published without the nozzle-off photo. There is no exception. :::

Photo tips​

  • Natural light is best. Take photos near a window during the day.
  • Clean background. A plain white or neutral background helps the fragrance stand out.
  • Avoid flash. Flash creates harsh reflections on glass bottles.
  • Show the fill honestly. Buyers rely on the fill level photo. Overstating fill is grounds for a dispute.
  • Show flaws. If there are scratches, dents, or marks, photograph them clearly. Buyers appreciate honesty and it prevents disputes.

What will get your listing rejected?​

Our admin team reviews every listing. These will cause a rejection:

  • Photos taken from another website (stock photos)
  • Blurry or unusable photos
  • Photos that don't show the actual item
  • Fill level photos that are clearly inconsistent with the stated fill percentage
  • A missing or unclear nozzle-off photo

Photo upload​

Drag and drop photos onto the upload area in the listing form, or tap Add photo to select from your device. You can re-order photos by dragging them — the first photo becomes the listing thumbnail.
