The visual aspect 👀
Hello Sellers,
Eye popping isn't it?
Well, when it comes to shopping, the visual aspect is also crucial. The quality, clarity and composition of your images play a significant role in attracting buyers and encouraging them to take a closer look. To make a lasting first impression on buyers, consider the following examples when updating your images:
Main Image
On pure white background (RGB colour values of 255, 255, 255)
Has high resolution zoom (at least 1600 pixels on the longest side)
Be high quality photographs of the actual product. Graphics, illustrations, mockups, or placeholders are not allowed
Exclude any accessories or props that might confuse the customer, text that is not part of the product, logos, watermarks, or inset images
Some categories have different requirements for the main image, take a peek at which specific category they are listed in
Lifestyle Images
Add between 3-5 additional lifestyle images
Show different angles of the product
Add lifestyle images that stage your product being used, modelled, or displayed, helping your customers connect and envision it in their life. You can include props and various backgrounds that highlight your product
Add a video (if possible)

@Winston_Amazonwe have an issue with one of our ASINs. We've tried to do just this and upload loads of lovely lifestyle photos of the product. They are in the back end - but amazon insist the original images we uploaded years ago are the ones that they prefer.
We've tried all sorts. Delete and Relist the SKU, change images sizes and formats. Nothing works.

"text that is not part of the product, logos, watermarks, or inset images"
I sell mainly badges, keyrings and greeting cards. Nearly all have text on them. Having images with text on them rejected is infuriating, especially as it's not easy to contest.

I'm not sure that's an improvement on Whistler's original study of his mother... :-o

Take a look at B005Z34SVE
So with all Amazons image rules why do they refuse to amend the photo's on this listing (as well as others from this seller) as it fails to meet the rules for both background colour and the sellers details in prominent view???
I've tried getting these listings altered several times but failed each and every time.

Has Amazon considered the fact that a "pure white" item sitting on a "pure white" background, that the item doesn't stand out all that well? It's a bit like taking a photo of a stick insect in a bush!

How do we go about getting listing images changed? I've submitted changes multiple times but listings never get changed.
We sell older video games and consoles which often have user submitted images which are terrible. A good used image is probably better than using an original stock image but the images for many older games and consoles look terrible.
There's no point submitting high resolution, high quality, no background images if Amazon never accepts them and keeps up ancient pictures which often include the original boxes for ancient hardware which doesn't always come with original boxes.
