eBay rule
eBay: photos must show the actual item being sold
eBay's picture policy requires the photo to depict the actual item for sale. Manufacturer stock photos are allowed only for new items in original packaging; pre-owned items must use real photos.

What we check
CatalogPrep flags listings where the same image hash appears across multiple sellers' listings using its perceptual-hash deduplication index.
How to fix
Replace the stock photo with a real shot of the item. CatalogPrep cannot auto-fix this; manual review is required.
