Was looking into it, Since the Exif tag contains information about the photo, it can pose a privacy issue. For example, a photo taken with a *GPS-enabled camera can reveal the exact location it was taken, which is undesirable in some situations. By removing the Exif tag with software such as ExifTool before publishing, the photographer can avoid possible problems.
*With your specific camera being 5 years old it is unlikely to store GPS locations.
It may also contain the camera's make, model and serial number. So it would be possible to see it was your camera from a suspended account.
Whether e bay do this is another thing though, I could see them doing it for copyright info when it is disputed.
I suppose that using an EXIFTOOL should be used just to be safe!
