Labeling AI-generated photos
Is it allowed on eBay to upload AI-generated photos - of course with the corresponding label in the photo -? It doesn't have to be the only one or even the gallery image, but especially for carnival costumes it helps with the presentation.
Best regards, Birgit

Mentor1 week agoif it’s already gotten to the point where you have to explain to users how carnival costumes are (supposed) to be worn, you can really lose faith in the future of humanity

OP1 week agothat's not the point at all, this answer is not very helpful. It doesn't hurt to show a customer that, for example, a jacket looks good with a tulle skirt, but also with trousers. Clothing and accessories on a person usually look better too than, for example, just photographed on a mannequin. Or to see larger sizes worn for once.....

OP1 week agoI sell carnival items. It's probably time to end the discussion here. My question has been answered, and there's no need to discuss whether AI images make sense or not; it was more about the implementation. Have a great weekend, everyone

Hello @lihapo ,
I can’t find an explicit rule for AI-generated listing images in the eBay image standards in principle. What matters, though, is that your images accurately show the item being offered.
Among other things, images with additionally added text, graphics, or marketing content, as well as watermarks, are not allowed.
If you use AI-generated images, you should therefore make sure that they accurately reproduce the actual item and do not contain misleading deviations. I would rather avoid labeling directly in the image because of the rules on added text, and instead include a corresponding note in the item description if needed.
Best regards
Patrick

OP1 week agoHello Patrick, but unfortunately that's not at all up to date. Without AI images, almost nothing works anymore. An AI image can show the customer many design possibilities of the product and is almost an indispensable tool. At the very least, it should be legally permissible as a supplement to a pure product image. A note about AI-generated images in the item description is unfortunately by no means legally compliant, so not helpful. eBay should come up with something and keep up with the times.
Best regards
Birgit

Mentor1 week agoAs a potential buyer, I’d like real photos.
As a seller, I post real photos of my items. @lihapo

OP1 week agoI do that too, but I still find the option of being able to show different costume/accessory combinations with AI appealing and also informative for customers. But if it doesn’t work, that’s okay too, but I still think it’s a shame, even if some here see it differently. I’m signing off now, have a nice evening

Mentor1 week agoI post my own photos, and the texts in the AB are also written by me myself.
I’m taking the liberty of not using AI.

Mentor1 week agoActually, buyers want to see the original item and not AI-generated images or other images from the internet.

OP1 week agothe product is, of course, also shown individually and in its original form. The AI image is only meant to be additional and show what is possible with the item. And the actual product is not distorted in the AI image either

Mentor1 week agoLet’s best ask an eBay employee; he can definitely answer that definitively. He’ll get back here, but it may take a while.
Hello @patrick@ebay could you take a look, please? Thanks 🙃
