"I list 20-30 items a week on Mercari. Used to spend an hour just on photos. Now I snap on my kitchen table, fix in 30 seconds, and move on. My sales haven't dropped at all. Actually went up." @MercariHustler

Real Examples
Random item on kitchen table
Snapped a quick photo of a blender on the kitchen table. Dishes, mail, and fruit bowl in the background. One prompt, 30 seconds, done. Listed it and moved to the next item.

Flash photo of shoes at night
Had to list these shoes at 10pm. Flash photo on the carpet. Harsh shadow and yellow light made them look beat up. Quick fix made them look store-fresh.

When Things Go Wrong
Universal prompt doesn't work well for this specific item
Why: Some items (glass, metallic, very dark, very light) need more specific instructions.
For the specific problem: glass items add 'keep transparency', metallic add 'remove glare', dark items try 'light gray background'
The universal prompt works 90% of the time. For the other 10%, add one specific adjustment.
Item edges look rough
Why: Fast processing may not perfectly separate complex edges from cluttered backgrounds.
Tap markers on rough edges, then: clean up the edges, smooth transition to white background
If edges are consistently rough, try a slightly less cluttered starting surface.
Colors aren't accurate
Why: Quick enhancement can shift colors, especially under very yellow or very blue lighting.
correct colors to match real life, this item is [actual color], accurate representation
For color-sensitive items, add the actual color to your prompt: 'this is navy blue, not black.'
Part of the item was removed
Why: Items that blend with the background can partially disappear during background removal.
Tap markers on the missing part, then: keep this as part of the product, only remove the background
If it keeps happening, use a contrasting surface for the original photo.
Result looks over-processed
Why: Enhancement plus background swap plus sharpening can sometimes look artificial.
Use a simpler prompt like 'white background, better lighting' for a more natural result.
