New account listing pics: my own or stock photo?

I wanted to bring to all the stealthers attention that did not know this. When you are using a new / newer account, be sure to use your own photos. It seems that using stock photos can increase the chance of your account being required to call in to ebay. I have had to call a couple times already over stock photos (or at least thats what the ebay rep made me think) on listings on a couple new accounts.

So, just a heads up to help avoid the phone call

Fo sho. I don't even use eBay's stock photos when they sometimes show up.

Things that trigger a MC999 in the 1st 90 days:

1) Quantities of the same item in a single listing

2) Stock Photo's (using pictures you did not take yourself)

3) Below market average price

4) Poor descriptions

5) Using a free VPN that is recognized as a proxy server or network sharing device or VPN's that are abused like Choopa and 100's of others.
