Andriod app & cell phone pictures of items can track stealth?
 

Can ebay track the cell phone pictures of items from the app?

Can the Android app be used on a stealth?

Anyone got info on this?

Yes they can, they can do it for all mobile platforms by tracking your the androidID of your phone, GUID of your iphone and etc. I can't stress enough to avoid the eBay and paypal app

The majority of users on this forum agree that using any App is a bad idea. If you feel the massive desire to make an ad, use your laptop, PC.

Exactly. I remind people over and over again, look at the TOS of those apps...it's very scary what they say about tracking everything in your phone. But, people are too dumb to read anything anyways.

...Which really sucks because posting from an iPhone takes me about 40% less time than using a PC.

Does a different compact/digital camera need to be used for each Ebay Acct?

Once a digital camera has been used does that mean it can never be used on another acct again?

Absolutely Not...You can use the same exact Digital Camera as long as you remove all info saved on the images, most recommend exif image remover.

Refer too Above answer.

Recommendation: If you plan to use the same product across multiple accounts, it is suggested to take pictures in different angles, backgrounds, etc.

If you're paranoid about it, just clear the EXIF data of the pictures you're uploading to ebay

Were you listing multiple users from your iphone?

The app is known for linking - avoid it.

40% Less, you running a 30yr old PC?

Good to know, i was being naive to use the android app on a few accounts by just restoring my system to factory default via a nandroid backup, and then just going back to my usual setup in recovery mode. I guess i won't be doing this..

But, i did create a few accounts this way before and they are up and running now straight through the laptop fine. I just created them with the mobile app to seem more legit~

Accounts can be fine and running - just have to make sure to keep all info separate and avoid accidental linkage. Have to keep in mind that while linking can be the downfall of accounts, not all linked accounts go down

:juggle:

can someone give instructions on how to remove exif data etc on pictures .

also can i reuse the generic pics i have previously used on a banned account after deleting exif data.

@desikanjar,

You have some reading to do.

Using generic pics...always better to use your own but if you use generic pics, strip them and add your own stamp or so.

I have noticed recently and am so flattered. I was looking at competitors ads and didn't have anything listed when I thought I recognized 1 of my pics. Well some of my competitors have copied my style of photography. Angles, backgrounds, image size, etc., etc. I really thought they pirated my pics even my copy style. All of this comes from my 45 years of graphic arts exp. so I know it's mine. It was all my original style. That really helps me roller skate in a buffalo herd.

@joe'

Time to watermark your own work

Special watermarks too

:heh:

Username stamp also works well

Have to be careful of how the name is done.

Heard of a listing getting pulled because it was considered advertising.

Just a heads up.

They are just coping the style not the actual photo.
