Watermarks & Photos



In September we announced that listings with watermarked images (adding a text, image, logo, border or graffiti on your photos) would be removed from eBay search results from 1 March, 2018. As a follow up, we want to let you know that we will not be enforcing watermark removal as we had originally announced. 

We still strongly recommend you remove all watermarks from your listings. We know that buyers want to see products clearly before they make a purchase, and watermarks can deter people from doing so. Watermarked images can lead to Google and Facebook rejecting these products, meaning less visibility for your listings and decreased conversion. 

Thank you to those who have already removed their watermarks. With the removal, your images will be accepted in Google Shopping search, your products will be featured in our product-based shopping experience, and will be considered for our deals and seasonal promotions. 

As always, thank you for selling on eBay. 

Regards,
The eBay team
