Seller guide
Checklist dell'annuncio: foto richieste e codice modello
A complete listing passes review on the first attempt and receives fewer questions. Prepare these photos and data before opening the guided selling process: the same checklist appears within the flow, step by step.
Photos required
Full front (mandatory)
Eyewear open, frontally, on a neutral and uniform background, diffused light without flash. Everything must be in the frame, including the temples.
Left side (mandatory)
Full profile with open temple: shows the curvature of the front and the condition of the hinge.
Right side (mandatory)
Like the left side. If there is a difference between the two sides (bent temple, replaced screw) it must be visible here.
Inside left temple — markings (mandatory)
Legible macro of the model code, caliber, bridge, temple length, and color code. This photo links the listing to the catalog entry.
Inside right temple — markings (mandatory)
Macro of the logo, country of production, and any hallmarks or serial number.
Lenses in grazing light (recommended)
Tilt the eyewear towards a side light source: micro-scratches, halos, and worn coatings are only visible this way, and declaring them avoids disputes.
Hinges and screws (recommended)
Hinge half-open: shows the number of barrels, screws, and any play.
Case and accessories (recommended)
Case, box, cloth, certificate or receipt in the same photo: for high-end items, they influence the final price.
Declared defects (recommended)
A close-up photo for every defect mentioned in the description: deep scratches, repairs, worn plating, deformations.
Technical image requirements
- JPEG, PNG or WebP format, maximum 8 MB per image, long side at least 1200 px.
- Indirect natural light or diffused light: direct flash hides scratches and makes the eyewear look retouched.
- Neutral background, always the same in all photos, without objects or logos of other brands.
- No filters, no borders, no superimposed text or watermarks: photo review rejects edited images.
- Only your photos of the actual item: images from catalogs or other listings are not allowed.
Model code and reference
- Where to find the code
- Open the left temple and look at the inner surface: in almost all frames you will find the model code and measurements. The right temple usually shows the logo, country of production and, on high-end brands, the serial number.
- How to read the measurement sequence
- The three numbers are in the order lens caliber, bridge width, temple length: in a sequence like 52 20 145, the caliber is 52 mm, the bridge 20 mm, and the temple 145 mm. Typical separators are the square, the dash, or the space.
- Model code and color code
- The model code identifies the shape (e.g., RB2140, 649, 5241); the group that follows is the frame color code. Both are needed: two examples of the same model with different colors have different markets and prices.
- If markings are illegible
- Do not invent the code. Enter the model as a custom item, still photograph the inside of the temples and describe the wear: the listing will be completed in review instead of being rejected for mismatched data.
- Check on the catalog
- Search for the code in the LUNETOS catalog before publishing: if the model exists, verified specifications will be pre-filled and the listing will become comparable with other items of the same reference.
Before photographing
- Clean lenses and frame with a microfiber cloth: dust in macro looks like a defect.
- Check that the screws are in place and that the eyewear rests flat, without crooked temples.
- Retrieve case, box, cloth, certificate, or receipt: these must be declared in the listing.
Data to have at hand
- Model code and color code read from inside the temple.
- The three measurements in millimeters: caliber, bridge, temple length.
- Front material and lens type (sunglass, neutral, prescription, demo, or absent).
- Condition grade and separate status of front, lenses, hinges, and temples.
Always to be declared
- Replaced or non-original lenses.
- Repairs, solders, non-original screws, and replaced temples.
- Deformations, worn plating, deep scratches visible on the lenses.
- Custom prescription lenses: the buyer will replace them.
Ready for shipment
- Hard case closed, wrapped in cushioning material, inside a larger box.
- Platform-generated label applied to the package: Poste Italiane for Italy, FedEx for abroad.
- Shipping within the business days indicated in the order: payment is released after delivery.
