Plus if you host your own images you would get access to the IP and browser data of EVERYONE who views your listings. Given the traffic on eBay that would be a ton of IPs.
yeah, I was actually thinking about buying some hosting and storing photos safely there. BUT... what about my stealth accnts? I think it would be too dangerous to use the same hosting for all of the accounts, right?

I would never advise using stock images, if that's what you're insinuating. That can result in a quick limitation, especially on premature accounts.

Sorry, just saw this response.

Not really any benefit unless you're in the data mining business. With eBay giving away the kind of customer info they do to sellers, you would be able to build a complete profile of your customers if you wanted to. You could get their IP from your hosting account, then associate that with their email from eBay + their shipping address. Wouldn't really benefit an ecommerce operation, but Google would probably love to have all that info.

Mayhard, if you're still around, think about this : with all the new top level domains you can buy certain domains now for $1. Then you could associate your $40 hosting account with 10 different $1 domains. Then you would have 10 different (unique) hosting URLs that you control, for about $50 annually.

Better than paying Photobucket, lol.

I see. But the only real data you're getting is location of visitors from the IP. You can usually get a gist of that from customers purchasing from you. No?

I've used imgur hosting before. It gives you unique ID for each image so you are good to go.

You would also get all the browser data of anyone who loads the image, so I guess you would gain more insight about how customers are accessing your listings. (mobile or laptop, what OS/browser they use)

You'd have a way to determine if buyers are located where they say they are, which could help prevent chargebacks/fraud.

It's definitely more useful just as a way to manage your own image hosting, but I wanted to point out the benefits that come along with hosting your own images.

I guess if you see value in such data, go ahead. I personally don't.

The whole chargeback/fraud is interesting. I guess if you're selling extremely high value goods, may be a good idea.
