Ebay Tracking via pictures - reusing the same pictures / images in listings? - Page 2

Modee · 05-20-2007, 10:57 PM

I use ImageShack for all images within my HTML listings and upload the main + gallery image for the listing directly from my machine. No problems.

CPUGEEK · 05-21-2007, 09:57 AM

I use auctiva all the time. You can't go wrong with them..

Hey CPU, do you have to open up a new Auctiva account just to host pictures if you're NOT listing through Auctiva? I found out you can just upload the pictures and then host them there, take the link and insert it in the auction. It's a work around. But I'm not sure if ebay can use that auctiva account location to find out that you're using an old Auctiva account with a username banned.

ifreewillie · 05-24-2007, 10:46 PM

It's safe to just upload from your computer. It only gets your ip address at most, but seriously doubt they even record that.

soshelp · 07-10-2007, 07:51 AM

I am not sure what is meant by the URL tracking. Does that mean if i use my old photos they will be tracked?.
Is the URL the name of the file EG C:/workfile/ebaypictures?
IS it better to host from a third party? eg if you list through Auctiva will this solve the problem?
OH EBAY OH EBAY you drive us all nuts

If you host your images on a domain that you own or on a friends site and you get NARU'd then if you open another account on ebay and start listing items with pics hosted from the same domain they will get you that way to.

So basically, if your account is shut down and you used one of your sites to host the images you can not use that site to host pics for your new account.

Use a free service this way if you get nabbed, you can just open up another account with that free service and keep going. I use Auctiva.

ihatebay · 07-17-2007, 07:28 PM

because i kept all the pictures i took on my suspended accounts, which are 2 months old. I don't know if it would be safe to use them again on my new account?

currently i just used two old pictures for one auction created on a new ID but I don't plan on using anymore old pictures, until I get more advice.

You might want to change the filenames, and picture size. Make sure you host off eBay or an image hosting site as well. That's were they'll get you.

tyandlayne · 07-19-2007, 02:56 PM

I think this is anothe reason why me ebay site got shut down I was using old photos from photobucket.com, which I think if I am correct when I start up again I need to redo my photos and start a whole new account with photobucket.. Someone Correct me if I am wrong///????

Ballsack · 07-19-2007, 08:23 PM

I don't think image links matter that much since ppl tend to steal links all the time. But I change them anyway.

ihatebay · 07-20-2007, 03:03 PM

oh crap, well im using the old pictures, and kept the names and size all the same.

but it's been 6 days and 1 more day to go. hopefully i won't get shut down.

ihatebay · 07-20-2007, 03:04 PM

actually I uploaded them to AUCTIVA, so maybe it's not THAT bad, because you know, people do steal pictures all the time.

Modee · 07-21-2007, 01:36 AM

I don't re-upload the images anymore. Too much work. My newest account is still going on three months using some of the EXACT SAME html auction listings from a prior (suspended) account.

So I would tend to say that images matter not, except as per the Aspkin Guide, if they are hosted on your own website.

john11888 · 07-21-2007, 02:03 AM

If my old account is suspended,i am going to set up a new account with different name (changing new IP). Can i upload the new photo to AUCTIVA (new auctiva account) as i have some suspended account in auctiva.. is it safety? Thanks

ihatebay · 07-21-2007, 07:30 PM

hey john that's what i did. i used my old pictures and uploaded it to new auctiva account and it's okay, after 8 days now (the auction has ended).

Proxy will always result in suspension but you can get reinstated.
