Initial Impressions I ordered Taylor Stitch's 10 oz indigo Cone Mills Flatout shirt (http://taylorstitch.com/products/indigo-cone-flatout). The denim shirts come in three colors: Indigo in 10...

Is it somebody who own this and wants to sell?

This was a gift from my boss. I kept it for a few months before I just sold it. It is pretty solid. Made in USA. You can't beat the quality. If I needed a sterling silver money clip I would buy a...

I just picked this up and I am pretty pleased. Just what I expected. I am pleased with the Bark. However, I wish it was a little darker. A great deal for $35. Comparable to other belts in the...

This is the 2nd time that I've checked your items for sale. I was somewhat interested in checking out one or two shirts, but your photos are so awful...no way I would even consider taking a chance without a better look-see.
Let me preface the following by saying that I hardly consider myself an ebay expert...far from it. But I do know a thing or two about marketing. I have a feeling that you are selling quality goods, and I'm certain that your sales would probably increase 500% or better if you simply took a few extra minutes to take decent pics.
If nothing else, hang the shirt and jackets so that we can get a better look at the entire garment. All we can really see now are dark, soft, hazy images of shirt tails in the foreground...and blown-out, close-up photos of the collar/label.
I'm not a pro photographer...But I have learned many of the basics (essential for showing off my handmade knives). With that in mind, may I suggest that you do yourself a favor (or two)...
Pick-up a tripod...they can be found at WalMart for cheap (I think they're under $15 bucks). It'll dramatically improve the quality of your images. And when shooting close-up never, ever use a flash! Also, set your camera to macro mode for all close-up pics....You'll see a HUGE difference in your tight shots. Using your camera's timer will also help a lot...you'll get much crisper images (I usually just set mine for 2 second delay).
And the biggest thing of all is lighting...by far. Turns some lights on...or better still shoot in daylight (the easiest off all decent lighting sources).
Good luck with your sales.
