ebay stealth pictures
 

Hi, I am just wondering, I bought a brand new laptop to do my eBay work, so anyways my question is that if I use the same camera or phone i used on my suspended acct to take pictures, could I use the same camera or phone, since now I have a brand new computer or will it be traced back through photo data, do I need to use something different to make pictures. Also how could I make it traceable proof?

yeah because your camera is totally linked to ebay... lol

I honestly believe the new Laptop is bit of a stretch but none the less.....If you take new pictures with a camera or your phone.....you should erase all Metadata off the images.

Here's what I use:
JPEG & PNG Stripper - www.SteelBytes.com

How do I erase the data, also I will take fresh new pictures, can it still be linked if I use fresh pics but using the same camera I used on my suspended eBay.

Re: ebay stealth pictures
 

I doubt that you would get linked just because you used same device to make a pictures of your items >.<

Remove exif dats mm78 gave good advice. windows also has an onboard stripper just right click and hit propertied then details and delete all data

Re: ebay stealth pictures
 

Can we just use the windows stripper?

I wonder if ebay looks at the data on pics and flags it in their system if the data has been erased. Not a flag the user could see, but a flag their system sees. Curious...

Always erase the Metadata. Especially if you are using the same picture taking devices you used on a suspended account.

batchpurifier is a very easy tool to erase picture data

question.

the metadata originates from the device used to take the picture. so if im using my android phone, would a master reset give a different metadata code? im not sure how that stuff works, but i thought maybe it would be similar to making a new windows user on your computer. it would be tremendously easier for me to just master reset my phone than it would be to remember to use the stripping program every time.
