Please stop putting unremovable stock pictures in my for parts or not working listings

Some of these are expensive physically broken headphones. The stock picture is deceptive and an invitation for a SNAD.

A USED item should never have a stock picture except in special circumstances. This is simple common sense.

If this is where this new product based scheme is headed, we are all in trouble. Or maybe they're doing it to increase the SNADs so they can collect an extra 4% starting October 1. Either way, it's wrong for the buyers and for the sellers.

Are they changes by eBay affecting your listings after you already have them listed without stock photos?

[sandmansales]

I do a listing with my own photos and ebay inserts a stock photo as the primary search photo. There is no way to remove it except to remove the Item Specifics of the pre-filled selection. But that causes placement problems in their product catalog.

I've already had one buyer ask which picture is the correct item which prompted me to start this thread.

I agree. This is happening to me too. I can uncheck the catalog pre-filled info. but sometimes ebay is reinserting the info. & stock photo at a later date once the listing is active. It`s driving me nuts. If I was selling brand new items I wouldn`t care but most of what I sell is well over 20 years old. Why in the world would they deem it appropriate to have a stock photo on a 20 year old item? I don`t want any of their info. in my ad. It takes up too much space and may cloud and conceal MY photos and description.
