eCommerce power sellers, like those on Amazon, Ebay and Shopify have long known how powerful images are, so they go the extra mile and take their own product photographs. Meanwhile drop shippers who re-post manufacturer's images, complete with Chinese water marks on them, are shunned and get low sales.
