Hello,
In our update to business sellers in September, we announced that listings with watermarked images would be removed from eBay search results from 1 March 2018.
We know that this has been an important topic and thank those sellers who took the time to contact us and explain the challenges they had with it.
We encourage our sellers to use clean images because, when watermarks are in place, we cannot typically promote their listings on platforms outside eBay, such as Google and Bing.
We’ve also heard from customers directly in focus groups that they are more likely to buy from us when product photography is on a white background and uncluttered.
Having listened to our sellers’ views on this, we’ve decided not to enforce this policy and to keep it in place as guidance only.
Thank you again for using eBay. The views of the people who sell with us are absolutely essential as we continue to evolve eBay for buyers and sellers.
Regards
The eBay Team
