I just got a note from a friend pointing out an apparently new unannounced auto-opt-in that eBay has instituted (or perhaps I missed the notice...(right)).

His concern was that other eBay users could use his pictures to sell their products, and even if not, the loss of control for your pictures as I see it. There is a copyright notice that does state you contributed the image though. This setting (which you can change to "NO!") is located in your "My Ebay" - "Account" - "Site Preferences" - "Share your Photos". I turned it off... You may want to read the following as well (this is from the opt-out page): "(If you opt-out before August 31, 2009, none of your photos will be considered for inclusion in this program unless you opt back in at a later time. If you opt-out after August 31, 2009, any photos we select for inclusion in this program prior to your opt-out may continue to be used in the catalog)" Yet another reason I am unlikely to use eBay to sell my products.

Must be a US thing, this option isnt even shown on Australian Ebay. In fact, most of the other settings there are locked to "yes" and cant be changed From what I can see option is not there on eBay.ca either. Haven't looked at eBay consistently for a long time now.

I just checked and my default seems to have it turned off. Over to the right it says *Show*, if I click on Show it changes to Hide and around the middle it says "yes" to sharing the pics. I believe you want it to say "Show" on the far write. That doesn't mean it's set to show, that is my choice to select "Show". Tony |
