Does google shopping allow watermarks on photos?

In my other booth, i have have some items that google will not allow. All of these pictures have a watermark going across them. Just wondering if that could be the reason? There was no reason given by google for not allowing them on.

Yep – heaven forbid you get even a smidgeon of “free” advertising off their backs – they want the big bucks for that. Just use all their “free” services so they can hoard your data and make all the money off of it themselves. “It’s all for me, not for thee” says the G-monster!
