I’m wondering if this was an ill conceived policy that ended up being one that would be too difficult to police rather than common sense prevailing.

 

I mean, it would be difficult to come up with a bot that could detect every infringing picture, and it would take thousands and thousands of employees to go through listings to find offenders . . . . . . so . . . . . . too hard - let’s not do it after all.

 

I feel for all those sellers that have been slowly going through their listings as they are relisted just so they comply.

I think the reality hit home that if they pulled watermarked images there would be entire categories with no pics to display.

It certainly would have affected the Chinese sellers most as all they ever seem to do is share around heavilly watermaked pics supplied by their distributors.

The whole approach to pics is quite ad hoc anyway.

For second hand, original images are required, yet the big sellers seem to be able to use generic images or none at all.

(I see this in books all the time)
