Why don't sellers use the Trueview images in their listings?

One example of a seller who did not use the Trueview image in their listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LIBERTY-HEAD-20-1890-CC-/183268603938?nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=Cwcy%2FiLtlkt9TuUJNLiI4RD96Sw%3D&orig_cvip=true

TV image adds information, correct? https://www.pcgs.com/cert/83866841

Good question... In the past, I purchased a couple of coins and only later found they had TruViews... Nice surprise, however, I would think it would help the seller to include that fact... Hmmmm... yeah, maybe increase the price too.... On second thought... don't mention it. Cheers, RickO

It makes sense to give all the information you have.

May not be usable unless the seller paid for the image.

What are the Terms of Use and who ‘owns' the image of the coin?
Note that PCGS retains the image rights to the coin and may use the imagery as we see fit. That said, you are free to use the TrueView images however you like. This may include online sales or Set Registry listings, personal photo albums, or the creation of wall art or other décor that feature your coins.

But that's not the actual copyright statement, which I can't find... the large print giveth and the small print taketh away...

I suspect most dealers buy coins for resale and never check to see if any of the coins have TrueViews.
