Picture Sizes and Types

The picture types accepted by the site are JPEG, GIF and PNG. JPEG is probably the most common format since most digital cameras and scanners produce pictures in this format.

The maximum size of a picture shown on this site is 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high. If you upload pictures larger than this we will resize them automatically. The only disadvantage of uploading pictures larger than 640 x 480 is the extra time it takes you to send them to our server. If you use a digital camera, it helps to upload images quickly if you can set its image size to 640 x 480.

Pictures

The old saying that a picture paints a thousand words is not always true: it depends on what your picture is.

A good picture will speak volumes about your vehicle. On seeing a good picture a potential buyer will either:

• Be interested to take a more detailed look at your advert, or
• Know that your vehicle is definitely not for them.

Both of these are useful to you. The interested buyer will go on to view the detail of your full advert, any more pictures you have added and learn more about your vehicle. The viewer who dismisses your advert immediately will not trouble you unnecessarily or waste your time.

A poor picture will send confusing messages and put off a potential buyer because it is not clear what you are selling.

Photography Tips 

• Make sure your subject is well lit - pictures taken using natural light (outside during the day) are often the best, particularly in sunshine with the sun behind you.
• Make your subject fill the frame - don't let your item just be a dot in the middle of the picture.
• Only one item per picture - so potential buyers know exactly what is on offer.
• Take a few pictures and then you can choose the best one to use in your advert.
• If using more than one picture, try to take the item from different angles or include a detail shot.
