Ebay has issued new guidelines for the use of images on its site which came into effect yesterday.
The company wants all its sellers to have at least one picture as a minimum and has determined that must not be a 'stock' image from a catalogue but the actual item itself.
Ebay has also said sellers must abide by certain quality standards and that the picture must not have borders, text, artwork or other 'graffiti' on them. Since August 1, Ebay users have been able to upload up to 12 images free of charge.
Watermarks on pictures for the purpose of establishing ownership and identifying intellectual property are still permitted.
The site has also issued guidance on how to take better pictures and how to best optimise them for viewing on mobile devices.
