Same photos on Vinted and eBay: risk of blocking?

Vinted Tips/Questions
1

Hello,

I sell some of my items on both Vinted and eBay. I take all the photos of my items myself, and then I use the same photos for my listings on both platforms.

Is there a risk that Vinted might detect that these photos are also present on eBay and mistakenly consider them as photos taken from the internet? Could this lead to a warning, the removal of listings, or even an account ban?

I want to emphasize that these are my own photos and that the eBay listings are also mine.

Do any of you use the same photos on Vinted and eBay and have encountered this problem before?

I use the same photos on both sides, as well as on my website, and I have never encountered any issues.

No, because Vinted’s « bots Â» will not just scan eBay’s feed.

Unless you use external sponsorship on eBay.
Then your ads will be on the Web and search engines and thus captured by Vinted’s bots.

Therefore, to avoid taking risks, it is advisable to put different photos (at least the main one) on the different platforms used.

Thanks! It’s going to be a monstrous task but I’ll do it that way.
