I thought the title said "let you STOP using photos (when selling)", which is what has basically already happened due to the prevalence of stock images and CGI items on a white background.
I'm still looking for the browser extension that lets you filter out any listing with a pure white or gradient background from your eBay, etsy, pinterest, etc. searches.
Would be a HUGE indicator of an actual real used item sold by a human, vs. a new dropshipped item from China. You know, what I want to use eBay to buy.
- hippich 9y agoAmazon for example requires you to put picture on white background. They do not actively enforce it, but if someone complains - they will remove picture which does not fit their requirements.
- pkamb 9y agoMakes sense for Amazon, which is mainly a store for new items / open box used items. Don't care about pictures of the actual item. If I'm buying vintage/antique items on etsy or eBay I want to see the real item, not a stock photo.
