  1. Destroy Your Comic Book Competitors on eBay If you have ever surfed the web on eBay or a mail order bride site, you will see on these sites as well as others, that it is difficult to determine weather the person on the image or the product being presented is in fact a stolen image or weather the person posting the image of themselves is actually the person who you would like to meet,get to know and or fall in love with and have a family. Protecting yourself and your reputation, you need to inset a transparent watermark on all your images. There is good reason for this - the first is for a buyer, an uninitiated buyer won`t necessarily care weather or not a product photo has a watermark or not and may even be irritated by such images with watermarks. On the other hand, honest, intelligible and experienced eBay buyers already know that it may be risky to make a purchase from a seller, provided that a watermark is absent from a product photo. The majority will pass up sellers who do not have a watermark, and will also pass sellers who have immature descriptions, potentially indicating scammers, such as the words L@@K! or other foolish selling tactics. DON`T FALL FOR THEM! Watermarks on eBay images automatically identify YOU as the seller of the product you are presenting to the buyer looking at your item. It identifies your eBay user ID with the watermark on the product image, that you are the seller of the product and that the photo has not been stolen from Google images,eBay or Amazon. Image thieves don`t particularly like watermarks, because it makes it more difficult for these creeps to use them, edit them and essentially steal them without your consent for re-posting elsewhere on the internet, usu. for the purposes of selling fake items on seller sites like eBay and Amazon in what are known as zombie accounts/Incognito accounts or soc accounts. For sellers who do not make watermarks for their images,they simply just don`t consider that they are less proficient in making a sale, because there are so many scam-artists out there, they they just don`t comprehend the ethics of proper sales and this is one reason for their lack of sales, which they then end up blaming others for as well as complaining about others at fault such as eBay and PayPal...just do a search for paypalsucks.com. THEY NEVER BLAME THEMSELVES, possibly because they are narcissistic, a serious psychological condition where in Narcissist`s personality disorder in which a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity. This condition affects one percent of the population. First formulated in 1968, it was historically called megalomania, and is severe egocentrism. If you`ve ever been around or had a relationship with a narcissistic person, you know that these people are never honest and are always self-centered egocentrics who scheme and lie about everything,from manipulation to internet sales -- it is truly sad. The watermark, once added to your product photos, enhances the potentiality of making a sale by a very favorable advantage, giving you an edge over those who do not inset watermarks into their product photos. It shows your honest and that your the seller and that the product is legitimate. Without a watermark from sellers, how do you expect buyers to identify that the product photo you are presenting is in fact the actual product? Without a watermark how can buyers differentiate between a scammer and a seller presenting a real product and weather or not the seller`s image is from the eBay user ID? Both buyers and sellers benefit from watermarks on images, it gives a better user experience and benefits everyone. Those without watermarks on their eBay products photos are usually frowned upon, but you would do better with one than without. ~Nuff Said !~ You can also watch my Unabridged video on how to do this using The Gimp @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFStV4HpQyc To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.
