Can I use generated imagery here?

Not on the unit itself. Graded resale sells a specific cosmetic condition, and an idealised image mis-grades the product the buyer paid for.

Should I light marks away?

No — light them so they are visible. The buyer chose a lower grade at a lower price because they accept marks, and hiding them breaks that deal.

What do buyers examine most?

The screen. Scratches and burn-in are what affect daily use, and photographing it both off and on is more informative than either alone.

Where do battery and accessories go?

In text. Battery health and what is included are specifications rather than things an image can establish.

Why does consistency matter?

Because a grading scale is only trustworthy if imagery matches it across the whole inventory rather than varying listing to listing.

Is background clean-up acceptable?

Replacing surroundings is presentation and is fine. The unit and its marks must remain exactly as they are.

Does this apply to warranty refurb?

Yes, and arguably more, since an honest condition record is what supports a premium over ungraded used stock.

Is the free generation really free?

Yes. One per day, watermarked and capped at 1024px. Signing up gives you 20 credits and clean full-resolution files with full commercial rights.

Refurbished Electronics Photos

When a listing sells a grade, the photograph is the grade.

How it works

1. Photograph the actual unit
Graded resale means the specific device, with its specific marks.
2. Light so marks are visible
Raking light shows scuffs that flat light conveniently hides.

Why this is worth getting right

Refurbished marketplaces are built on cosmetic grading, where a device is sold as excellent, good or fair and priced accordingly, and the grade is the product. That makes the photograph the grade in a way it is not on any other channel, and it sets the tightest limit of any category on what an image tool should do: the unit photographed must be the unit shipped, with its actual marks, because a listing that hides a scuff has misdescribed the grade the buyer paid for. Generated or idealised imagery on a graded listing is not a presentation choice but a mis-grading. The productive work is therefore lighting rather than alteration. Marks on glossy devices are genuinely hard to see under flat light and obvious under raking light, so honest photography here means lighting so the marks are visible rather than lighting them away — which feels backwards until you remember the buyer chose a lower grade at a lower price precisely because they accept marks. Screen condition is the detail buyers examine most, since scratches and burn-in are the ones that matter daily, and photographing a screen both off and on is more informative than either alone. Battery health and included accessories are specification questions rather than image ones. Where a grading scale is published, imagery consistent with it across a whole inventory is what makes the scale trustworthy.

Tips that actually help

Photograph the actual unit with its actual marks, because on a graded listing the image is the grade the buyer paid for.
Light so scuffs are visible rather than hidden, since the buyer chose a lower grade precisely because they accept marks.
Show the screen both off and on, as scratches and burn-in are what buyers examine most closely.
Keep battery health and accessory contents in text, which are specification questions rather than image ones.
Stay consistent with your published grading scale across the inventory, which is what makes the scale trustworthy.
