Image Overlays

Monsoon’s image overlay tool is a great feature for eBay sellers. Branding your presence on eBay can increase visibility, promote sales, and draw traffic to your eBay Store.

Brand your eBay image and stand out from the crowd.

Search results on eBay are returned in summary format, and items offered for sale have a tendency to blend together. This format obscures the relationship between items that are offered for sale by the same seller who is a larger, more reputable eBay seller worthy of special attention.

How it works:

Search results on eBay with regular photographs make all items look relatively equal. Buyers must sift through detail in listing titles to determine the exact nature of the item.

There is a technique called an Image Overlay which can be used to help a seller stand out from the crowd and get noticed. The example below shows a series of listings where sellers have used image overlays to communicate several messages to buyers:

  • Dominance of a category
  • A sense of security
  • Doubt in reliability of other sellers
  • Professionalism

The Monsoon image overlay tool automatically creates professional image overlays based on your design. Monsoon users use a series of watermarks, graphics and text boxes to create overlays for all your images automatically. Monsoon combines your image overlay with the original image, and creates a new image file that is saved on Monson’s image server where it is hosted with your listing template.
