You may also use the images and product details from the eBay product catalog. This content is provided by eBay customers and third parties, and can be used by all sellers for additional product information.
You may use images, videos or text on eBay as long as your use of that content does not infringe third-party rights and the content follows our Offensive materials policy. For further information, see our full policy below.

When you create listings you give eBay and its customers permission, through our User Agreement, to use your images, videos and product details. Your content may be added to the eBay product catalog, and may be used by other sellers in their eBay listings.
When creating listings, store pages or product pages, sellers should write their own text and take their own photos and videos. Buyers like to see images, videos and descriptions that accurately represent the item they are purchasing. Learn more about adding photos to your listing and writing a good title and description.
You may also use images from eBay's catalog by using the Sell one like this feature. If you upload text, video or photos created by someone else to eBay, you must have explicit written permission to use them on eBay from anyone that has any rights to that content. If you don't, your item may be removed by the owner of the content through the Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program.
Your listings, stores pages, product pages, member communications and images uploaded when you return an item or leave feedback should follow this policy as well as our other policies, including the Offensive materials policy, Adult items policy, No item listings policy, and Offering to buy or sell outside of eBay policy.
I recently got some new and better quality images for my existing listings, I thought if I change my listings with the new images and descriptions may good for customers' browsing experience. But some of my friends told me that if I do this, the eBay robot will think the products are changed, different from the previous ones, so finally, the ranking or whatsoever other negative effects will come to the listings. Is that true? How about your opinion from your own eBay selling experience? Thank you for your help
Updating your listings is more likely to give them a boost in search results. It also decreases the likeliness that ebay will delete stagnant listings that have been up for sale for over a year. Often times I get a sale for a product within minutes or hours of updating them, ebay likes it.
Better quality images is a bonus as well. The more readable the image, the more likely Google will rank it higher in Google Shopping. ebay thinks not having a white background is bad, that's a myth too. Readability is what matters to Google. Practically none of my listings have a white background, almost every listing I have is in Google shopping right now.
Unlike what the call name implies, you can upload only one picture per call. To upload multiple pictures, call UploadSiteHostedPictures once for each picture you want to upload. EPS pictures must be used within 30 days, as pictures not associated with an active listing are automatically deleted from the server after this period.
If the call is successful, UploadSiteHostedPictures returns the EPS URL of the picture in SiteHostedPictureDetails.FullURL, the original external picture URL in SiteHostedPictureDetails.ExternalPictureURL (if used), and the URLs for the variously sized images that were generated in SiteHostedPictureDetails.PictureSetMember.MemberURL.
If you need to retrieve the self-hosted and associated EPS URLs, use the GetItem call. The URLs are returned in ExtendedPictureDetails.PictureURLs.eBayPictureURL and ExtendedPictureDetails.PictureURLs.ExternalPictureURL. Image RequirementsNote: All images must comply with eBay's Picture Requirements. If a dimension or file size limit is exceeded, the errors returned will include the applicable limits. Image processing issues, such as thumbnail or gallery image generation, can result.
Error 21916604 is returned if the height + width dimension limit is exceeded. For example, if the maximum image dimension limit is 15,000 pixels (height + width), an 800 x 800 image is acceptable (800 + 800 = 1600, which is less than 15,000), but an 8000 x 8000 image is not (8000 + 8000 = 16,000, which is greater than 15,000).
Error 2191448 is returned if the image file size is larger than the maximum file size allowed. For example, if the maximum original file size is 12 MB, images with a file size greater than this are not acceptable.
eBay Picture Services (EPS) supports the uploading of image data in JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, and TIF formats. An error is generated if you upload images in another format (such as PSD). EPS stores successfully processed images at sizes and compression settings designed to provide the best trade-off between image quality and page-load times.
Seller m***************r is going to list a Harry Potter book and she wants to upload an image of the book. Note: To ensure there are no copyright issues, we are using an image from the eBay Developers Program site instead of an image of the book.
To ensure good user experience, eBay have implemented a number of image requirements. To get your listings approved and your products seen, you need to ensure that your eBay images meet eBay guidelines and image policy.
3. You must include a minimum of one image per product. The maximum number of free images you can have is 12, but we talk about how to add more than 12 photos to ebay listing later in the article.
Bundles can be a great way to drive sales on eBay. However, eBay image guidelines dictate that images of bundles should show all products included and not include seller details such as how many bundles are on offer.
While general eBay image size guidelines dictate that images should be a minimum size of 500x500 pixels and a maximum of 9,000 x 9,000 pixels, the best size for eBay photos will differ slightly depending where on the page it will be included.
5. You can use images that include two representations of the product. When you do so, it must be clear that both representations are of the same product with each representation being different. For example, showing the product from the front and the back in the same image is okay, but simply having two mirrored representations of the product on the one image is not.
Yes, but you should only use stock photos that you get from your product vendor. Using generic stock photos means that you are likely to get flagged by the eBay image policy, but manufacturer photos are fine as long as you are selling a new and undamaged product.
Many users look to add images within their descriptions to provide clarity to their listings. When considering how to add pictures to ebay description, the easiest method is to copy and paste images having uploaded them to the Internet- for example, in your Dropbox or Google Drive.
I have a fully updated MacBook Pro. I imported some pictures from my phone and tried to upload them to Ebay, but they have a grey border around them and I can't select them. I have older uploaded photos on my this same computer that I can upload. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
The filenames I want to grab don't have src (i.e. -amazon.com/images/I/81%2BTW8762BL._UY500_.jpg) In this case, the array is called data["colorImages"]. But I can't hard-code anything because the same thing happens on eBay.
Are you trying to generate a database of competitors items with pricing, etc.?
Are you trying to grab entire categories or individual sellers? The reason why I ask is you can get an RSS feed of items each seller lists if they have turned that feature on. This way, you do not have to waste time scraping a page when you can get the central data from an RSS feed.
When parsing webpages, depending upon where you are in the webpage (you mentioned carousel) the indices you are encountering are from the stash of thumbnails representing the larger images.
I recommend looking at the eBay API and the Amazon API and finding the RSS feeds for the sellers first.
As far as getting past any Javascript issues, the webpage loads rotating slideshows and carousels dynamically, so you will have to use Mechanize (as RAJ suggested above) or Beautiful Soup or Selenium to get fully rendered web pages in which all images are in a scrapable state.
Sorry, as I am posting the answer from mobile phone, I can't write full code right away, however, I can give you a way. You should use Mechanize with selenium-webdriver & watir instead of only Nokogiri.
Using Mechanize, you will be able to handle elements coming from JavaScript. You can mock the actual moves on browser i.e. you can code for clicking on links/buttons, you can wait for image load and then can scrape it. And all this can be done using Mechanize very easily.
Leveraging the latest advances in two core parts of artificial intelligence -- computer vision and deep learning -- these new features make it easier to buy the things that inspire you. When you upload images to run Find It On eBay and Image Search, we use a deep learning model called a convolutional neural network to process the images. The output of the model gives us a representation of your image that we can use to compare to the images of the live listings on eBay. Then, we rank the items based on visual similarity and use our open-source Kubernetes platform to quickly bring these results to you, wherever you are in the world.
I've been flipping for a few years, and I just got an iPhone in the past year. As a lot of you may know, the photos from the iPhone is in a .HEIC format, which is not compatible with Ebay. For the past few months, I have found a way to convert these .HEIC photos to .JPG, but I am only able to do this in batches of 5 through a website I found.
If the Full-Image URL is 1YAAOxyg5Rt0bS/$T2eC16ZHJF0FFZ5Ddu6oBRt0bRm-bw60_12.JPG?set_id=880000500F
if you replace the _12 at the end with _57 i.e 1YAAOxyg5Rt0bS/$T2eC16ZHJF0FFZ5Ddu6oBRt0bRm-bw60_57.JPG?set_id=880000500F will give you the zoomed image.
However, it is it critically important that any Add/ReviseItem requests only ever use the _1 or _12 image in the PictureURL containers i.e the FullURL returned by the UploadSiteHosted API response. The use of any other member image in an attempt to show a larger image on ViewItem will result in the Gallery image (shown on SRP) not being generated. It is fine to use the _57 for viewing, and is the best choice if the you are importing the items and images to a local application.
