eBay rule
eBay: photos must not include added borders
eBay disallows decorative or solid-color borders around the photo. Borders reduce the rendered subject area and trigger picture policy rejections.

What we check
CatalogPrep samples the outer pixel ring and detects uniform color borders thicker than 4 px.
How to fix
Use the CatalogPrep auto-crop fix to trim the border; if the border is part of the subject (packaging artwork), submit for manual review.
