Wondering how this was going to effect those who drop ship everything and dont have any pictures of their own to use.

Nasty new rule for "used" condition. We'll see how it goes, I don't plan on doing anything for now, except uploading a bigger main picture for my few affected listings.

No text added or any artwork to pictures is not a very smart update. This will increase amazon and bonanza sales.

Hello!!! It's watermarked to stop the image being stolen by some thief.
Ah well, back to the drawing board.
More than one way to watermark images  |

Your allowed to put a water mark they just want to clean up the pics that have advertisements of name / website all over them, which I think is good idea some of those pictures are so messy looking

For me as a buyer I get tired of seeing all the text and graphics all the way down the page.
It will help clean it up and will be better looking and easier to browse in my opinion.
The size issues and other things are going to be a pain for a bit but for me I am liking the idea of no text in the photo.
I see the text thing as a plus because many people have complained for years about the text. Maybe it will help keep buyers looking more???

download fotosizer if you need your images larger. Does batch resizing to enlarge quickly and without hassle.

The requirement is 500 pixels on the longest side, which is pretty small and 99% of us won't have any issues with this length. Even with my camera set to it's smallest image quality, it's still 640 on the longest side.

If you cant take a photo, trying an artist rendering if you have time to paint and draw  Quote:

Always look cheap & tacky.
Or, the item is cheap and they overcharge with shipping.
LOL. |
