Has anyone used a Dino-Lite Microscope for use on eBay? For the last few years I have been pondering about buying one of the Dino-Lite digital microscopes, finally during the ANA show last month I put up the money and invested in the latest model, $350 retail, yikes. I am amazed by the quality and ease of use, and I feel it was money well spent. I started tinkering with it and wondered if I can use it for eBay proposes, and I have gotten some great high quality images. I was working on a sellers listing on eBay and uploaded a high quality image from the Dino-Lite, and the image was exactly the way I wanted it on the preview section, but I noticed upon review that the thumbnail picture for the eBay listing was terrible. I have Photoshop and have tried different image sizes and file sizes but the same outcome occurs. An eBay agent and I chatted and she said that eBay automatically resizes the images, and that I should not resize the image prior to eBay uploading. Has anyone else used a Dino-Lite microscope for ebay seller listings? If you have any input on this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Is there a proper size in pixels for high quality photos, and why is the thumbnail image in poor quality? I am assuming it’s because the image of the coin is under x20 magnification which is the lowest setting on the camera. Thanks for everyone’s help in advance,
I don't sell on eBay...or anywhere else for that matter...(I'm a hoarder) :yes:. However, I bought a Japanese "Dino-Lite" knockoff and am having great fun with it! I posted some pics on a thread somewhere. I'm sure that an actual Dino-Lite is well worth the price. I saw one at the Baltimore show and really liked it. The coin annotation and cataloging software looked great! Most folks on eBay try to hide their coins' defects...not highlight them. I suppose it would be good for the purveyor of error coins. :thumb:
