Hi cke786, thanks for your post.
Could you please confirm how do you know the brightness was reduced and specifically 5%? I can take a look, but you'd need to show me an example, so I can report it to our technical team in case there is something wrong with it, so it can be corrected.
Thank you,
Marco

Because I work with images 9-12 hours per day, often longer on the weekends! Plus using the HSB shows that it the image on eBay has been reduced to 95% Brightness, ie a reduction of 5%. I've checked all my other images on eBay, they have all been reduced by -5%.
Here is an example:
Thanks for your reply, cke786.
Often when images are uploaded to sites, forums, social media channels, etc, it is normal for them lose some resolution, compression or even brightness. For better understanding, this is basically, but not the same, as uploading a file/image to a cloud, everyone who has access to the cloud, can see the file/image, and this how all users have visibility on your images.
This is why the final result might be slightly different to what you expect, I am fairly sure this is what is happening here. However, I will report it just in case there is something else going on, but to set the right expectation, I believe they might come back to me with the same.
Thank you,
Marco

Well spotted!

At a guess, it is to delineate product images as clean 'boxes' on a pure white background. The only other solution would be to introduce borders to images.
I agree - the image container is always visible as a square with rounded corners. If you uploaded a stock image with a pure white background there would be no defined image boundary without the overlay - i.e. the overlay causes a pure white background to appear as a very light shade of grey.
Hi cke786, thanks for your patience around this.
I've just been confirmed that this wouldn't be a technical issue, this is something that can happen when uploading your photos.
I've passed feedback around this stating your points, so this can be taking into consideration for future updates on our site. However, please note that this doesn't necessarily means that the suggestions will be onboarded.
Thank you,
Marco
