Sharing and using content
For the convenience of sellers, we offer a product catalog of photos, item descriptions, and specifications, which are provided by users and/or third parties. Sellers can use content from this product catalog when creating their listings.
We might, at our discretion, use photos that you upload to your listings to represent a product in our product catalog. If we do, we’ll display your user ID and a link to your My World page on the product details page of the product featured in your photo.
All photos in all listings will be automatically reviewed for possible inclusion in the catalog, unless you opt out of this program. While there’s no guarantee that any of your photos will be selected, you may gain valuable exposure in the catalog if they are.
If you don’t want us to consider your photos for inclusion in the catalog, you’ll need to opt out. You can opt back in at any time if you change your mind.

What you should know
All photos you upload to listings may be selected for inclusion in our product catalog, unless you opt out of the program. You can’t selectively choose which photos you want us to consider for inclusion in the catalog.
If your photo is chosen to represent a product in the product catalog, the link to your My World page will be available for as long as we use your photo to represent that product in the catalog.
You won’t receive any notifications if we select your photos. However, you’ll see an attribution to your user ID and My World page under the product description on the product details page of the product featured in your photo.
All photos collected while you’re opted in may, at our discretion, remain in the product catalog after you opt out. All photos and other content uploaded after you opt out won’t be included in the product catalog.
It’s important to comply with all eBay policies, including our rules about intellectual property, when you create listings or use our product catalog.
