AI clothing photos for eBay
eBay wants sharp photos on a clean background, with no borders, frames, text or added watermarks, at a minimum of 500 px per side — though 1600 px is the better target. Titles allow up to 80 characters, twenty more than Mercado Libre, and that extra room pays off if you spend it on material, size and detail rather than adjectives.
eBay is the channel for selling clothing abroad, often garment by garment and secondhand or vintage. There the photo has an extra job: besides selling, it has to document the garment's real condition, and that changes what's worth generating and what isn't.
What eBay requires
- Clean background, with no borders, frames or added text

How to prepare the listing
- 1
Generate the main photo
Clean background and square framing, which fits the results grid best.
- 2
Add unretouched detail photos
If the garment is used, wear marks go as they are: the studio photo is the main one, not the only one.
- 3
Write the title with all 80 characters
Garment, material, detail, size and brand if it has one.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use generated photos if I sell used clothing?
For the main image, yes: improving light and background doesn't change the garment. Wear marks, stains or repairs must show in unretouched detail photos; hiding them is what generates claims and damages your seller reputation.
Why does eBay penalize borders and frames?
Because they clutter the results grid and cover product. eBay reduces visibility for listings with frames, added text or watermarks over the photo.
Should I use all 80 characters or keep it short?
Use them, but on searchable facts: garment type, material, detail, size and brand. Every empty word is a search you don't show up in.
