Sewing machine photos with the dials and plate in view

Make it in TelegramDetails that matter
Decals and dial marks help buyers identify the model, so check them after each run. If the lettering changes, rerun and add 'keep decals and markings exactly'. Leave paint chips in the picture, because wear is part of the honest condition report. Take the source photo from the front with the needle raised, so the bot can keep the presser foot and the plate in view.
Accessories and testing
List the pedal, the case, the bobbins and the manual if you have them, and show each item in the set. Say whether the machine runs and how you tested it. Check eBay's current rules for electrical items and shipping heavy goods, and keep an untouched picture of the model plate in the listing. Add the weight of the machine to the text, because buyers plan shipping and lifting before they place a bid on heavy equipment.
Tips
- Photograph the model plate and any serial number.
- Show the foot pedal and the cord.
- Take a close view of the needle area.
- Say whether the machine was tested.
Questions and answers
Can I show the carry case?
Yes. Add the case in a second image and check the latches.
Does it work for overlockers?
Yes. Show the thread path and the front panel.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.
Does the bot work in English?

What the bot does not do
- Does not output a transparent PNG. The result is a finished 3:4 image with a background.
- Does not write listing copy, set prices or upload anything to your seller account.
- Does not guarantee exact marketplace pixel sizes: crop or resize the 3:4 image in any editor.
- Text on infographics is drawn by AI and can have letter errors in long phrases. Keep badges short and proofread.
