eBay

Hi all,

I have had a look at eBays image policy and it seems pretty clear cut in relation to images - no borders / text / additional logos etc etc. Why is it then that every other seller in my industry has listings with borders / backgrounds / text / logos that clearly have been edited - both in gallery images and main listing images? I have heard if you host the images yourself you can do what you like - is that what everyone is doing? I would love to have a clear cut answer to this one. Thanks.

Aha...good to see that but depednding where you look Ebay does stress the following in the Seller Centre hence general confusion - http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/how-to-take-product-photos/ebay-photo-requirements.html

Borders aren’t allowed on any of your photos.
Watermarks are allowed for ownership and attribution, but not for marketing information, specific details about your item, or customer service
No text or artwork (such as “Free shipping” or seller logos) may be added to the photo.

That is for ebay.com - not for the Australian Site. Different sites have different rules
