Best Practices for Taking Photos of Your Machinery

Best Practices for Taking Photos of Your Machinery

February 12, 2026
High-quality photos are essential for trust, as the platform does not handle inspections; include shots of the full machine, control panels, and manufacturer specification plates

Since the platform acts as a facilitator and does not provide physical inspections, escrow, or delivery management, your photos are the primary way a buyer verifies the machine's value.

Recommended Shots for Your Listing:

The Hero Shot: A clear image of the full machine from a front or 45-degree angle.

Technical Details: Close-up photos of labels, manufacturer specification plates, and serial numbers to verify the model and YOM.

Internal & Operational Views: Capture the control panels, screens, and any key internal components. If possible, include an image of the machine in working condition.

Transparency: Use your allowance for multiple images to show any visible wear or specific tooling included in the sale.

Buyers often use the "Contact Seller" form to request additional photos or videos, so having a comprehensive gallery ready can speed up the enquiry process
