Ridiculous new 500x500 picture rules will cripple sellers. What a nightmare!

[manatee_music]

Hello, who else has noticed that you can't edit item listings now if your images are non-compliant re 500x500 size?  What a completely stupid decision!  I sell CDs with stock images, just like everyone else, and about half of my items don't fit this newly-introduced rule.  Plently of perfectly good 400x400 images are apparently now not good enough.  As far as the eBay CD/DVD retail sector goes, this rule is ultimately going to cripple just about every seller over a petty issue.  Do eBay have no idea how labour-intensive it is to edit this stuff, any way you do it?  How about they introduce their own automatic resizing (which is what I'd have to do myself anyway, one item at a time).  They should at least have an exemption or auto-resize for media sellers who use stock images.  It's sheer idiocy!  If this affects you, I urge you to complain to eBay about it.  The more people do this, the more likely they are to stop this absurd policy which is a monumental waste of time for everyone.  One-size-fits-all just doesn't work!

I agree with you absolutely.

I will make my complaint to eBay about this ridiculous policy, fat lot of good it will do, but one can only try.

No regards whatsoever for the poor seller, who has to spend hundreds more hours of work, FOR NOTHING!

Just tiresome and disgusting.

Not everyone sells large items, many items just do not look good with too large a photo.

Like coins, for instance..

960 actually.

Another trap for board newbies. As is dragging up old threads to take shots.
