Preventing Photo Theft on eBay

Many ask about the “No-Right-Click” Javascript to keep their images protected. This simply DOES NOT WORK.

Besides some browsers not recognizing the code, would-be-thieves could have Javascript turned off, they can view the source code, drag the image to their desktop, and even do a screen shot cropping out everything but the image.

Using the “No-Right-Click” script can also cause problems for the honest people. Ever think about left-handers? When you disable the right mouse button, you are disabling the equivalent of a right-handers left mouse button. Makes it kind of hard to navigation when you can not click!

The BEST thing you can do is watermark your photo. This can be done in Irfanview and many other image editing software programs. It does not have to distract from you photo. Make the watermark very light and obscure.
