Improved background removal tool
Now live: AI-generated item descriptions
We’re upgrading our background removal tool, making it easier than ever to showcase your item on a white background and help your listing stand out. With just one tap, our improved tool will seamlessly create a white background for your image, without the need for any manual editing or touching up.
The improved background removal tool is available to all sellers in the eBay app and on desktop.
AI-powered item descriptions will save you time by suggesting an attention-grabbing item description at the touch of a button. You can use the suggested description as-is, or easily customise it to add more detail, adjust for accuracy, or reflect your unique voice. This feature is now available for Australian sellers.

FAQ
What if I want to touch up or edit my photo after I use the improved background removal tool?
Our new background-removal tool is designed to create images with no need for editing or touch-ups. You can reject the changes, but once you apply and save them, you won’t be able to revert to your original image. You’ll still be able to crop, rotate, and edit contrast after using background removal.
What if I want to opt out of any of these features?
AI-generated descriptions and the improved background removal tool are optional. You’ll still be able to enter your own listing description or edit the AI-generated description, as well as upload images without using the background removal tool.
What if my listing is inaccurate because of the automatically-generated information?
While these new features can assist in suggesting listing details, AI doesn’t always get it right. It's important to double-check and ensure all information is correct before your listing goes live. Remember, sellers are responsible for the accuracy of their listings, even where they've used AI features to assist them.
Is it possible that my AI-generated listing descriptions will be the same as someone else?
This feature creates a unique description each time it’s used, based on information in your listing. That means it’s extremely unlikely for it to generate multiple identical descriptions. However, as always, if you see an issue, please contact us to report it.
