Photography Still A Center Stage for eBay

 AuctionBytes

eBay sales frequently depend upon eye-grabbing descriptions, but without a picture, the ultimate auction value can suffer. At this year’s eBay Live conference in June, eBay expanded their photography education from previous years.

eBay offered both an educational seminar (Basic Digital Photography to Make You an eBay PowerSeller - 1.5 hours) and a computer lab (Hands-On Demo: Get Top Dollar by Shooting the Best Product Photo - 1.5 hours). The first seminar was held in a room that holds 1700 people, and there were very few seats left. If this is any indication, the eBay attendees were definitely interested and were there for information.

The computer lab had about 80 networked workstations, and all seats were taken 20 minutes before the session began. Both the educational seminar and the computer lab were presented by Jim Miotke, who said he would post the seminar and computer lab material to his website (http://www.betterphoto.com).

 

The computer lab was a full house!
