Good idea or not?

I am quite good at photoshopping, especially airbrushing, and was wondering if I could do this somehow over eBay for people?

Anybody reckon this would take off?

    It may do. The first thing to do will be to come up with a list of very specific products/services you can offer at a fixed price. It's also worth looking to see if anybody else is doing the same.
    Good luck. :)
    Can I help?
  • Ok thanks.

    I've had a look on eBay and I can't seem to find anybody doing it, not sure if this good or bad?

    Do you mean you can make logo's etc?

  • I can make logos, edit photos by removing red eye etc or totally change them by turning them into popart and things.

    Give it a go hun. Give examples of your work, set prices and a range of products and people may well snap it up.

    What about designing eBay shop logos?

    I cant really image there would be a demand for it... presumably the people interested in photoshop will have those skills and expertise already. I know tonnes of people who are into it.

    So I cant see how you could sell your services to people like myself who dont have those skills. Why would people pay for logos for their ebay when its not really gona have any impact on their sales.
  • It wouldn't just be logos i'd do. I can re-touch wedding photos so that the Bride has perfect skin etc. Restore old family photos so that you can see who the people in it are clearly again.

    Lots of people dabble in photoshop, but few can do it properly.

    Perhaps eBay is the wrong place to advertise this kind of service.

    There are lots of sellers on eBay who design logo's, auction templates, storefronts e.t.c

    It's always good to have a store that looks eye-catching and professional.
