Contest $15 to whoever can "Pimp this image"

Here's the deal...

I need an image for the home page of a website to look really good. The website offers an eBay listing/auction service (where people drop off their stuff and the website owner sells it on eBay for them).

So the image should portray that, along with anything else creative, such as an eBay PowerSeller logo, etc

Here is a link to a rough draft of an image I put together for example purposes:

link

So I'm just looking for ideas on how to spice that up and make it look awesome! Feel free to be creative. Again, this is the first thing someone will see when they arrive to the website, so it has to be good.

Size is approximately 500 x 330 (but you can go a little bigger, wider, or smaller if you're design calls for it).

Here is another link to a picture style that I like

Edit: Here is a link to the example Wordpress theme that the picture will be used for: Theme - when you go there, make sure to click on the "Sliders" menu button, and then "Static 2" so you can see the exact setup that will be used.

I'm looking forward to your entries!

Thanks

 

This is a pretty easy job...I'm not looking for something complicated. Any entries will have feedback posted to let you know what I like/dislike.

Thanks!

 

I'm in, here is my first entry... I'm still improving it, any feedback is appreciated:

 

I'm curious to read your feedback

 

Nabil_kadimi - Very nice! I don't need the "sell your stuff" at the bottom, you can get rid of that. If you could play with the angles a little more, that would be good...I'm not sure which angles would be best.

thanks for your entry!

 

Thank you for your feedback, please review these entries:

 

Very nice nabil - I like the first one on the latest entry...but I would want to get rid of the border and the image would need a transparent background...is that possible?

thanks!

 

Just another entry

 

Oh sorry, I didn't notice your message... working now on it...

 

Is this what you want:

 

Same image but with a lighter shadow under the powersell logo:

 

Nice work nabil, good luck

 

Looking great nabil! Now if it could be sized down, that would be great!

I'll wait another hour for any other entries, and if I don't receive any I'll go ahead and end the contest.

 

It will need to be about 500 x 330, so you may have to move the powerseller logo up or something I don't know.

 

Here you are: 500 x 448:

3 am here, I'll go to sleep now, will be back online in ~3hours.

Best Regards.
Nabil Kadimi

 

Ah OK ... sorry, Will do it right now

 

Here you are:

 

Nabil, I like it a lot, however, I just realized after trying it on my website that I think the ebay photo should be turned the other way and the powerseller logo on the left instead of right. I don't know how to explain what I mean, so I've attached a sketch in paint to show you the direction I think I would like better:

 

Man, Nabil is the GO-TO guy for quick and cheap design. I'm gonna keep him in mind. Well done. Give the man his 15 bones.

 

Can you wait for my entry ,I will submit mine in 1-2hours
