New Ebay policy for photos

[Cheryl24]

Thanks for posting this. I changed my setting to No!

Thanks for the intel! Is there a way to prevent people from right-clicking and saving pictures down?! Always wondered how to do this?

Thanks OP!

Thanks for the heads up! eBay is sick.

That is so wrong. I want to see pics of the ACTUAL item!

Thank you eBayguy and denimbarks for clearing up the confusion here. That makes much more sense.

I'm so glad I came across this thread! I just disabled it on my profile.

But I had no idea that this was going on. Did they even send out an email telling users this?

Thanks so much for the heads up! Turns out there were a few options along with that ABSURD change that I didn't even notice I had set...

If you use Auctiva your pictures can be set to copyright and they cannot be right clicked and saved. That will apply to the Ebay picture and the supersize Auctiva image but it will not work soley on an Ebay auction without the pictures linked to Auctiva. As I never sell the type of items I like to buy, I do save pictures of items I like for myself ONLY. Even with a copyright or protected image you can just hit ctrl & prtsc (printscreen key) open up Paint or any editing software and paste the photo and edit it. I am not for using other peoples images and never had, sometimes when you see a nice picture of a purse or something you could never have it's nice to save the picture and torture yourself -lol !!

I can't find the share photos option in my site preferences menu anywhere???

Thank You!

I'd still encourage everyone to watermark though, since they wouldn't want to use your photos anyway if they are watermarked!
