Can eBay see the saved file name for images?
 

Hi all

So, I know ebay can link photos via Exif Data etc & having the same photo on different accounts is a way to link the accounts

However, can ebay see the name I save the photo as?
Example:

I remove exif data and then save the photos as

Item1
Item2
Item3

I then use DIFFERENT photos (of the same item, but different photos)
Remove data etc and then save as

Item1
Item2
Item3

Can ebay see that the saved file is "Item1, Item2, Item3??

Thank you

Best to just clean it, to be on the safe side.
Don't think no one can answer this question.

Clearly ebay can see the item title once uploaded.
Can they link it to previously used images if you use generic titling, very very unlikely to the point of being of no risk.

Yes they can see that

No they wont link you by it

Okay thank you

So just done save them to their locations then

I.e - B4, B4 & B4 - just save them as paper, paper, paper

You can save them using whatever full lame you want so long as you’ve cleared out the EXIF data that’s all that really matters

Yes, I clear all the Exif data

What about SKU's? (stock location in warehouse)

If the same item on different accounts is listed with the same SKU B45 - is this a link?

How can I put in the SKU without linking? Because I still must know where the item is to post out (not dropshipping)

SKU numbers won't link you, there are huge dropshipping companies that have hundreds of resellers all using the exact same images, SKU numbers and descriptions etc, and it doesn't cause any issues
