so the mc019 i posted above is basically due to using the same picture or some lines of text the same as the competitor powersellers?

even if i try to take a picture of the product the quality is going to be rubbish compared to the powersellers who have probably photoshopped their products and done fancy things with them in the pictures

what if i modified the powersellers pictures?:shocked:

I used to get those a lot, Ever since I started taking my own photos the problem disappeared. Just go to staples get a big White (or any color) peice of cardboard lay it on the floor, Place your item on it, zoom in, and Whola!! a Great looking Shot!!! then if you want load the picture up in ANY Basic/Free Picture editing program, Resize it if you have to, add Text (like your user/Store Name) if you want, or a Watermark and you got a GREAT PRO-Looking Picture, The whole process does not even take 10 Min.

Or using a nice clean white bath makes an excellent lightbox.

it is very easy to sort this out,just take the photo by yourself,and list the text to be more simple.

no you can take an average picture, but as a buyer I always prefer real pic to stock one, personally anyway - take photo outdoors

Nope, that's another bad idea. Whatever you are selling, those PS are virtually sitting there 'looking out' for competition. Copy anything of these and they are going to hammer you. MC019 will hit you quickly.

You need to do ALL your photos, new original and make sure the only thing in common is that it's the same item. Your text needs to be different as well.

If you are not going to do that, find another item :ranger:

how could the PS prove the pictures have been modified if they look different? like different colour backgrounds, text

If it was your picture being copied you would know. Greenbean is 100% correct.
I have been through this issue countless times myself. Believe me, TAKE YOUR OWN PICTUrE. your troubles will end

Take the pictures from different sides by yourself for gift box and product
