Does Ebay require a separate photo of each silver round?

Dear frankcoins (frank@frankcoins.com),
You recently listed the following listing:
190563667474 - One Ounce .999 pure Silver Universaro Round
Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because of the following:
Listings for coins must include images showing the actual coin for sale. We do not permit sellers to use stock images or images taken from other websites to depict the item being sold.
You are free to relist this coin but please include images of the actual coin for sale.
Your listing fees have been credited to your account and you can easily revise and relist successfully from your Unsold folder in your My eBay after reviewing the Currency policy page.

My local B&M dealer has stock photos of all years of ASEs and just hits relist when the auction is done. I don't think he's ever gotten this notice.
You might try to keep the picture the same and just rename it in your computer. That may be what's popping up ebay red flag......????
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Ebay should go to a system where when one creates a listing and adds a pic, the seller checks a block that says "actual picture of item" or a block that says "stock photo." Results of that selection should show up in the listing under the pic. Sellers who choose to use stock photos should be allowed to do so as long as it is clear to potential buyer that photo is stock. Requirements for pics of full actual coin slab should remain unchanged. Many sellers do not know they cannot use stock photos and continue to do so while many buyers, because of the actual pic requirement, assume the pic is not a stock photo unless buyer was kind enough to state so. Buyers who want actual photo from a seller who uses stock photo would have two options (1) request actual pic from seller, or (2) don't purchase based on a stock photo. Some photos, although actual, are so bad they are useless to a buyer.

<< <i>show a pic of the box with one of the rounds on top >>
Frank...some one got it in for ya and is monitoring your auctions. Who did you p_ss of lately? The reason for nuking your auction is suspicious especially when it comes to bullion rounds. Make sure you list them in the proper category...silver bullion bars or rounds and not coins
Becoming??? I do absolute limited business on there ever since they started requiring Paypal, didn't allow sellers to leave negative, raised the FVF from 3% to 8% (which I belive is now 15% when you factor in Paypal), require pics of both sides of certified coins, not allowing you to put a grade of the coin in the title unless it's certified by one of the top tpg's...I could go on, but i'll spare the board of my rant against eBay...or should I say fraudBay.
<< <i>what if it were listed under bullion? since they're not coins. >>
coin and currency rules still apply.

It would be nice if there was a check box for stock photos though.
Frank, Do you think this was a random check or that you were reported by a friend?
eBay seems to intentionally use the singular tense so don't know if it applies to listings with more than one coin but as long as you don't say stock image (simply be moot on the point) I think they'd have no way to nail you.
What about all the sellers selling rolls of coins?
You could have a field day reporting all those listings without pics of EACH coin in EVERY roll.
