Pictures

Can you put the same pictures on different accounts without raising suspicion as I use pictures from Google

Why would you use pictures from Google?

[jeffweico]

That can be dangerous. It is always OK to use pictures from eBay's catalog, but other than that, you should take your own pictures. First, because it could be considered copyright infringement - if someone reported it eBay could suspend your account, and second because eBay has software to detect identical pictures. If someone used the same picture from Google and their account was banned, your account could be next. It does not ALWAYS happen, but it DOES happen.

Always use different pictures for all the accounts.

Ebay is able to link pictures to accounts.

In each user account, find the pics and save them to that user account. Dont use a shared folder for all user accounts. Just an easy precaution.

ALSO. If youre using real photos, Dont use the same photos. Pics have embedded info in them. A lot of the pics you take with phones etc even have gps location embedded in them.
Ever see that news report about ISIS taking a selfie and 5 hours later that location was bombed? NSA got into the photo and found the gps tag.

If you want easy way, just download the picture you want, add waterMark on it with your signature, And it is considered as yours.

Email? you don't have to make it complicated. With VMWare you can attach your FlashDrive and you can "Share Folders" where you can gain access to your hard drives, ThumbDrivers, etc.

All new accounts should use their own pics. Not stock. A few times I have had the ebay rep tell me when calling in on a new account that I should not use stock photos and try to upload at least 3. I believe this helps prove that the new account is not dropshipping (speculation).
