1. We’ll Get You Started with the First Image
Every listing on Marketplates generates a clean, professionally styled default image based on your plate text and state format.
This ensures every plate has at least one high-quality visual that looks consistent on the site, no effort required.
But you can go further.
2. Add More Images to Build Confidence
You’ll have the option to upload additional photos. We strongly recommend it. Buyers want to see the real thing, and quality photos signal that you're serious.
Here’s what the Pit Crew thinks makes a good photo:
- Well lit: Use natural light or bright indoor light to avoid shadows or blur
- Plain background: Lay the plate on a neutral surface (timber, concrete, black or white works best)
- In focus: Make sure text is clear and readable
Don’t include props or your hands holding the plate.
Keep the focus on the asset.
3. Keep Your Description Simple
You don’t need to write a sales pitch. Just be factual and clear. Include:
- Any known history (e.g. “Originally issued in NSW in 1995”)
- Why it might appeal (“Perfect for a Jaguar or luxury Euro car”)
- Anything practical (“Currently held on hold with VicRoads”)
A well-written description can help buyers make a decision faster.
