If a eBay listing is using your product photo, the fastest route is eBay's own reporting process. Here's exactly where to go and what to include.

Where to report

eBay VeRO notice — Non-members can email the Notice of Claimed Infringement to vero@ebay.com.

What to include

1. The exact URL of the infringing eBay listing.
2. Your original work — the URL of your own listing and the date it was published.
3. Your original photo file, if the form allows attachments.
4. Your contact details.
5. A good-faith statement and an accuracy statement under penalty of perjury (see the DMCA notice guide).

You can generate a ready-to-paste notice with our free takedown notice generator.

eBay-specific tips

• Members of eBay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program report through the program; others can email a Notice of Claimed Infringement.
• Include the item number for each listing.
• Report the seller's other listings if they reuse your photos.

What happens next

eBay removes reported listings it confirms and notifies the seller, who may respond.

Before you report: save evidence

Listings can disappear and reappear under new IDs. Before reporting, save the URL, a screenshot and an Internet Archive snapshot (web.archive.org → “Save Page Now”). See someone stole my product photos for the full checklist.
