I hope I'm not offending anyone with this suggestion, but I'd like to see larger, better quality photos of ukuleles for sale. I see two areas for improvement: size and focus.
When I click on some thumbnails, the resulting images are barely larger than the thumbnails. Some pictures, often close-ups, are so blurry that they might as well be left out.
Size - Most cameras have settings in the Menu system for Quality. If you set the quality at the largest available, you'll be off to a good start. Here's a link to one of the millions of articles about quality you can find online.

Focus - Using a tripod is ideal, but not everyone has one. You can improvise. Having the camera too close to the uke will prevent it from focusing sharply. Get enough light on the uke so the camera can use a high shutter speed. Check out the link below.

When I post pictures online, I make them 1500 pixels on the long side. There are lots of free processing programs available to tweak lighting and sharpness.

Posting better pictures will help you to sell and me to buy. : )
