Creating high-quality listings is key to being successful on HipStamp and your photos are the first thing your buyer will see. Using clear, well-lit, and distraction-free photos will capture the attention of your buyer and increase your chances of a sale. Here are 3 crucial lessons to take great listing photos:

1. Gather your equipment.

2. Make use of natural lighting.

Don't have lighting equipment? No problem. Natural lighting can produce great photos. Place your photo station near a bright window, but ensure you're not directly in the light to avoid glares. To avoid blurry photos, make sure that you tap the stamp on your iPad or phone to focus your camera before taking the photo.

3. Be sure to include a photo of the back side of your stamps

Not only do buyers care about the front side of a stamp, but they also take note of the quality presented on a stamp's back side. Make sure to include them when listing your stamps.

4. Work your camera angles.

Time and time again, we've seen that listings with quality listing photos sell much faster, and often for higher prices than those without due to clear and centered camera angles. Photos with stamps that are laid flat and centered perform the next. Check out our guide below:
