Camera phone images don't display full size question

[Jurassic pork]

Hi all,

I sometimes use my camera phone to take pictures of things I'm selling,

When uploaded to the likes of Ebay, they usually end up with a large white border around them and do not fill up the image box.

If I use a proper digital camera, I do not have this issue.

Is there a way to get the camera phone images to display as per digital camera?

Cheers

Is the aspect ratio of both pictures the same?

I'm not sure. How would I find that out?

Phone image size - 4032 x 1960
Digi cam 5148 x 3888

I've tried using an image resizer to make them the same but the phone images still have the border regardless.

Your phone images are typically 16x9 ratio (widescreen-ish)
Your proper camera will typically be 4x3 ratio (or old school TV)

Ebay will be expecting to be presenting 4x3 ratio images. When they receive a 16x9 photo, they'll pad it out with a border to make a 4x3 ratio image.

You can either:
1) Crop your image (not resize as that preserves the 16x9 ratio)
2) Set your phone to shoot 4x3 images and not 16x9 when taking photos for ebay.

Thanks, will give it a shot.
