can one use other people pictures?

I am just wondering if this is possible.

I saw a seller store with beautiful pictures picked from different other sellers.

Is this allowed?

Generally no.

Some sellers use stock pictures from a catalogue, especially on new items that will be identical to the item being sold.

A few sellers have permission from the original photographer to use the pictures.

But generally, it is rude and quite likely illegal, because, without permission,  it is stealing someone else' work.
