Can Ebay suspend account by photos???
 

Hello, so I have a strange question. Can eBay suspend my new account becouse of my photos place (where I'am taking photos) becouse there is a good lighting so photos looks good, but can eBay suspend becouse I used the same place for taking photos as in the old/suspended account? Thank you! :clap:

They can link you and potentially suspend if you don't remove the EXIF information stored in your photos.

Yes they can link via photos - fix them up

Thanks guys and OMG!!! So I have put 1 listing 4 days ago and 1 day till the end of the auction left. So I can't fix that photo, becouse it's already in listing, so they can link me? I put only 1 photo in that listing. OMG! Now I'am really scared!

Not worth getting superscared about - just dont repeat...time will tell though so it`s really your decision. You arent suspended yet so...

It is a possible means of being linked. For the future you know what to do.

Was it your own (old) photo or a stock image?

More depends on what you listed.

:juggle:

Thank you guys! You really helped me. I'am absolutely changing the photos taking place.
GreenBean™'- No, it's mine photo not stock and it was new photo just taken in the same place where the suspended account photos were. :/

Sorry for bad English and Thank you all.

Yeah I think photos and background can be used to link account, gonna be careful here.

They can, but they're not likely to do it. Even changing 1 pixel in the photo will make it completely different and unable for eBay to track it down. Just don't upload the EXACT same photo. Change it a tiny but and you'll be okay. eBay doesn't have the time to check every photo against every photo and analyze everyone's living room or bedroom.

Thank you guys.

As long as you learned for future listings, you are doing well :thumb:

Disgruntled buyer that led to a suspension = might identify the same listing and report you.

Selling hot items with tons of competition = competitors might report account

Moving high risk fo fo = secret buyers are on the prowl

Other than the above, to get around the bots slightly re size the pic or change 1 pixel or change the brightness levels & re save, then strip exif data.

That being said, under a manual review you could be linked.
