Because I create the listing from the photo. I normally have 50 – 100 items photographed ready, then when I have time I jump on the Mac, create a listing, put the pics and whilst they are uploading I’m picking the category and filling in the blanks..

Then onto the next listing, no need to jump between devices and cuts out waiting time for the pics to upload via the app.. (I assume you use the camera app not actually take the pictures in the eBay app as I find it doesn’t produce as good a picture than if you use the iPhone camera app)

Rule number one.. you will always be able to list if you have the pics!!

Soon as stock comes in I’m picturing it cause half the battle is having the pics ready.. once listed you delete the pics so you don’t confuse yourself on what’s been listed.

You could be in a doctors surgery waiting to be seen and list on your Mac, whilst your waiting for a call you can jump on the Mac and list because the pictures are already there for those spare moments.. or if my wife has time she knows she can list for me as the pictures are there and just get on with listing.

I used to do the draft and pic way but I found the wait uploading pics annoying..

Just a quick tip on adding pictures to listings without using the ebay app If you have a Mac and an iPhone and they are linked via iCloud

Create a folder on the Mac desktop (right click then new folder)

Rename new folder as EBAY Pictures

And wait for a while.

Go to your iPhone and open the files app

go to iCloud Drive then desktop and see if the file EBAY Pictures is showing

if so.. your ready

Get all your items together and picture everything in one go (say 20 items worth)

Go into the photos app and select all the pictures you have taken (blue tick them)

the click the box with the arrow pointing up (its left of “Add To” and it will open some options

on the bottom row it says “save to files” so press that

select iCloud Drive – then desktop – then scroll down to EBAY pictures so its highlighted then press add which is top right of the screen (when you next do this iPhone tends to remember where you want to put your pics next time when you photo another set of items)

wait one minute and then go back to the Mac and open the EBAY picture file and they will be there

When you start listing you can then press the plus button on pictures and find that EBAY pictures folder to put the pics into the listing.. once you do this once, the Mac remembers that folder while you list other items..

Once you use the pics delete them from that folder and the iPhone and you’re set to go again

I use to do listings on the Mac then use the ebay app to add pics then go back to the Mac to finish off but this way is soooo much quicker

I hope this helps someone
