I'm not sure how needing to read eBay's terms and conditions, as all sellers should, impacts on the time it takes to take a picture. Or how producing a description does.

If you have actually read eBay's terms and conditions, you would know that eBay reserve the right to allow other sellers to use your pictures.

And unbolded standard font would get your complaint noticed just as effectively.

Edit: Why do I get the feeling that you haven't actually taken any pictures of the items you have listed? Or do you feel using stock pics from manufacturers/retailers are your sole prerogative?

OP using stock photos from retailers might be a good thing as it saves them money that they're obviously wasting

on paying for a store.

It's not necessarily a waste.

They have multiple quantities of everything. Maybe Kogan require them to have a store.

Still only selling around $170 in 6 weeks to me would be a waste of money by having a store.

Haha Kogan would require more than that.
