Un-Removable Stock Photo Glitch

 My glitch is the large main photo of the item I uploaded in many of my listings has been replaced by a stock photo. Example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/332709611518?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I tried re- uploading the photos, I tried filling in all 12 photo spaces with pics, but the UGLY stamp sized stock photo will not go away.  Ironic thing is I can now have an unlucky 13 photos in these listings, but the 1st pic is the unwanted stock photo.

 Also some of the pics I uploaded of the item for auction now have the words stock photo in the lower corner.  Anyone else having this issue? Check your listings.

There is no 'catalog' to look at, that's just a term for how eBay is indexing items now; by grouping them by identifiers such as UPC, ISBN, etc. . If your listing isn't in the catalog, every other listing of the same item that is, will get priority in search over yours. Thats the whole point of why bypassing the 'catalog' in order to avoid the stock image is a big big problem. In other words, if your item has a UPC and you deliberately don't use it (to avoid the stock photo), you're basically making your listing invisible, or at best, very hard to find.

I have exactly the same problem AND can’t change the timing of my listings.

Un-Removable Stock Photo Glitch

I'd like to use my photos along with the catalog info. I don't want the stock photos in my listings.
It doesn't seem possible from what I've read. Any help appreciated.
