Stock pictures
 

If you’re account gets limited and you move on to the next how do you relist your stock so it looks different? I sell clothes, one off pieces ... do I just picture them in a different setting and try make it look like a diff listing to the one on the dead account??

Re: Stock pictures
 

Yes listing and pictures have to be different.

If you are taking photos with the same device remember to clear all the metadata (or exif data)

Re: Stock pictures
 

Take pictures and then use a special software to take screenshots of that picture > upload to Ebay. This way the Ebay system will perceive them as 100% new pictures that are not related to the old account.

Never use stock pictures off known websites (e.g: Samsung, Apple...etc)

Re: Stock pictures
 

Taking screenshots of your pictures is entirely unnecessary. The same goal is accomplished in 1/100th of the time using Batch Purifier. Batch Purifier can be used to wipe the EXIF data from hundreds of photos in seconds.

@OP - If I were you I would just take new pictures on the same background, and run them through Batch Purifier before uploading to eBay. You could even use your old photos (with the EXIF data wiped) if you have room in the photos to crop. Since your old listings are presumably gone, there's nothing for anyone to compare your new photos to so you wouldn't be at risk for a linkage. eBay does not have the time or resources to link sellers to deleted listings.

Re: Stock pictures
 

To clarify this is a completely different phone that I've just obtained!

Re: Stock pictures
 

^^It would be inefficient and slow but yes, that would work too.

Re: Stock pictures
 

Thank you! I don’t sell huge amounts. Just 100 or so items so it should do the trick for me :)

Re: Stock pictures
 

You make sure nothings EVER looks like the old you. Do forget stock photos.

When I say stock, I mean photos of my stock... yeah i'm thinking off auctioning everything I have after xmas on this account, as its a non stealth limited so I can take them to small claims and get my £££ in January!

Re: Stock pictures
 

Re-edit, crop, rotate, and resave after wiping metadata will work. Done it many times.
