In September we announced that listings with watermarked images (adding a text, image, logo, border or graffiti on photos) would be removed from eBay search results from 1 March, 2018. As a follow up, we want to let sellers know that we will not be enforcing watermark removal as we had originally announced.
We still strongly recommend sellers remove all watermarks from their 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 listings and decreased conversion.
Thank you to sellers who have already removed their watermarks. With the removal, their images will be accepted in Google Shopping search, their products will be featured in our product-based shopping experience, and they'll be considered for our deals and seasonal promotions.
As always, thank you for selling on eBay.
Regards,
The eBay Team
