Default From 30 October, Don’t include graffiti in pictures

As topic, does it mean I do have to remove and revise literrally ALL my listing?

All my listing consist wording like "free delivery" etc.

or else my account will be ban in late OCT.

Please advise.

Moreover, once I revise my listing, my search standing will drop?

This is not something new. They announced this a very long time ago.
It is already in effect for all listings, except GTC (good til' cancelled|), which will be in effect from Oct 30th.

Most sellers have already adjusted the pictures, it is the new policy.

If your pictures aren't up to standard, they bury you in the search results, so good luck getting any sales.

One more advise, if I change the pics, will I drop my current listing search standing?

Free delivery and graffiti are unrelated.

If you change the pics only, the current listing search standing is unlikely to drop.

I for one think this is good that eBay are enforcing this. Makes it clearer neater and fairer! I never used graffiti in my listings with exception of one or two and that was only to say free P&P which has been removed as eBay now advertise that for me on pics.

We will see how the enforcement goes on this new policy - not completely in effect yet...

What i mean is on my Main display pics, I do have wording such as "FREE DELIVERY".

Is it kind of graffiti on e b new policy? Or I had to remove it? Can I have some coloured frame to make it stand out?

You dont need that wording "Free Delivery" - if you look at listings with free shipping...all photos (well most) have a green ribbon that go across provided by eB that states clearly Free shipping.

I would remove it - not sure about coloured frame decision

No wording allowed now, apart from a watermark I think, but that has rules too. No borders either I don't think, it's all in the eBay info you should have been emailed.

If it's an existing GTC listing it's exempt from the photo rules, unless you update it, then you have to revise it.

I wouldn't hold out much hope of ranking high in the listings with a poor photo (from eBay's point of view), best to revise it, and make it 1600 pixels on the widest side too.

I'm pretty sure you can have any color background you want.

Agree - think background colour is not the key issue

100% sure with that? I think a coloured boarder and background colour is just same thing.

Border and background are different ideas if you think about it - one is meant to have a photo stand out, other is just the ....background

Default Re: From 30 October, Don’t include graffiti in pictures

an update of this post, today I had removed all the graffiti on the pics.

However, my display pics consist of more than 1 products, (it is a multi variation listing)

Consist of around 10-15 products on the display pics.
e b still judge my pics does not meet the standard.

Basicly is just 15 products with white background
Any advise on this?
