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

Re: Pictures
 

Why would you use pictures from Google?

Re: Pictures
 

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.

Re: Pictures
 

yeah, may aswell find a different one though?

Re: Pictures
 

Seems like the laziest way to do things.

Re: Pictures
 

most efficient*

Re: Pictures
 

Absolutely, most efficient way to get linked/banned/limited.....Yes sir.

Re: Pictures
 

highly unlikely, I feel sorry for the 100s of accounts linked to mine if so lol

Re: Pictures
 

but all it proves is that some one has used a picture from Google

Re: Pictures
 

...well... so I will use a ready made answer from here...

"Seems like the laziest way to do things"

Re: Pictures
 

Always use different pictures for all the accounts.

Re: Pictures
 

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.

Re: Pictures
 

does this actually work?

Re: Pictures
 

That's awful advice, best to take your own pics and watermark them.

Re: Pictures
 

Yeah that was pretty bad advice there..lol

So u upload the new pics to stealth email or.computer. is this possible with vm ware? Seems email is the way to go here since i cant really plug into a VM

Re: Pictures
 

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.

Re: Pictures
 

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).
