Have you ever had a problem with watermarks?
eBay policy doesn't allow watermarked images. I personally always watermark every image to deter others using it, and haven't experienced any issues to date. It may be because the watermark is very faint, i.e. not noticeable, but still enough to deter others from using it. Strike the right balance and you'll be fine.
Re: Watermarks on pictures, have you ever had a problem?
They said they do not allow it, but in UK the slightly changed this.
They allow it , but they say that if you have watermark in an image of an item, it will not be displayed in google search, since google does not allow/like it.
But it is not that it is "Banned" in ebay, like if you do it they will close your account or something
Re: Watermarks on pictures, have you ever had a problem?
Hello,
Is it OK if I use photos from other websites but add a watermark before I Upload it to ebay (after delete exif data)
I just dont want to have stocks and looking for a wayaround..
Any experience? Any suggestion? Apart from having products..

It depends on the company, I actually just tested this last week.
Some companies don't care, a few actually took my listing down within 2 days.
And this is after I butcher the photo out of all kinds of data too.
So they must have a real person looking through the listings.
