Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

Hi seen a few threads about this. but dated.

In the guide it says you can be linked by using the same pictures.

But is there any way of using them again? they are stock images where i have the same template but same design would be uploaded..basically the same image.

is there anyway of reusing the same photo?..as i have like 400 lol would be a shame not to use again.

perhaps i can watermark this time?

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

I would be better not to use them again... stock images shall not be used anyway.

It would be a much worse shame to lose the account for that, isn't it?

The final choice is your.

You need to change the picture profile and use exif on them each time you want to reuse on different accounts.

If you have photoshop, you are golden.

Thanks guys,

SaiJin I have photoshop what would i be saving them as?

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

Why take the risk? I have seen on the ebay forum itself someone complaining about 'these stealth guys with different accounts, different locations but the same photos'. Do you want to be that guy?

I have been taking the following precautions from reading up on here:

Each account has different -
Photos with a different background eg white, wood, carpet anything.
Angle / zoom
Lighting

I also run them through batch burner

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

Photoshop +/- Strip-photo software +/- namestamp +/- resizing...so many options exist

Nice work.

Avoid anything that will link.

exif has an app from iphone which is helpful. I can strip them down as soon as i take the pics on my phone. anyone else do this?

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

I use JStrip does the same thing.

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

So many options - JStrip havent studied that much

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

Free and becomes part of the drop down menu so is so easy to use. and seems to remove everything, as far as my checks have gone

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

Really, I keep thinking of this, because I use my iPad all the time but every time I just get my attention diverted somewhere else and just plug into my lap top and copy the images on my desktop and clean from there

But I'm going to look that up,right now, thanks

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

Has that iphone been used with a suspended account? Is there an ebay app on the phone?

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

I just tried the app and than transferred the pics to my laptop and to exif cleaner to double check
This firs pic is the meta data before I cleaned it using the iOS APP, it was long so I just took one shot

The second pic is of the meta data that was left after cleaning it using the APP
Again I used the regular version on my laptop to do the check


Attachment 817

I know it's not the full view but on the cleaned version is the data that remains still a threat??

Just be warned the APP doesn't fully clean all metadata

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

Most of that just seems like image info that was left. Good if you don't want it to look cleaned.

Tried one on linux that was supposed to clean everything but when I looked at it there was stuff like camera used still on it.

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

photoshop - file - open image, save for web and devices, make sure metadata is clicked to 'none' then click to save. - good to go. ;)

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

How to check if there's metadata on my pics?

Re: Can you use the same pictures on your stealth account?
 

Not everyone can afford Photoshop, there are other less expensive option such as JPEG & PNG Stripper which is a free portable app.
