Reply to "eBay New Picture Policies --Spring Seller Update"

mrsjimmybMember

I'm not quite understanding this new "no borders" part of the new photo policy.

"Borders around pictures, and text added to pictures, will no longer be allowed. Watermarks for attribution purposes only will continue to be allowed."

What's the difference between a border and a template? I spoke with an eBay Customer Service representative a few minutes ago and he was very wishy-washy with his response. All he could tell me is that the reason for this new policy is so that Buyers have less reason to use the "Not As Described" excuse. He also said that the "no borders" policy only applied to the thumbnail photo to the left-hand side of the "Buy It Now" button. I explained it does not say that anywhere in their announcement nor does it say that in the Photo section of the eBay Help Center. So will I be violating the new policy by using templates?

THANKS!!
