Can you post the IMDb Photo URL for the poster you want removed here so our staff can take a look?

Many people wish to maintain the original poster in the Title gallery even though they want a new one to be used as the Primary poster. Since they have paid for both posters, IMDb will maintain the old version in the gallery unless a specific request for deletion is made.

Perhaps you mean "add" a new poster, not "replace" the poster? This is far from clear on the request page. In the FAQ, it says that one needs to put a direct request into the "notes" if you want to dispose of the old poster. This seems counter intuitive to say the least. Shouldn't you put into the notes the desire to keep the old poster because "replacing" means "removal, disposal, and adding a new one"?
My goal here is not to clean up IMDB's language, but merely to get rid of my old poster without another fee. These constant fees add up and make the whole experience bitter.

Since they were paid for, IMDb usually does not just removed them at all. Most people would complain if they paid to display an image but IMDb keeps deleting them. The person who paid for it, therefore, needs to specifically request any removal.
With car parts, the old is usually replaced with a new, working part. The car wouldn't run by having two of the same part still attached. They're going to assume the part that no longer works won't be needed. So, this is a copletely different situation from adding photos to an IMDb page where the assumption should be opposite...that I want to keep what I pay for, unless I express a desire to remove it.

Surely there is a better word than "replace", right?If they're meaning, in the huge majority of cases, that you can choose one of the, say five photos you've purchased the right to display, to be the one shown as the main photo, then move the one already there to the gallery below, then probably not. It is pretty much, in that case, the best word to describe the action. The rights to display them have been purchased. So, to remove one, the person has to clearly state the request to remove it completely.
I can't think of any examples but there are many, many pages with more than one image. In many cases, I'd bet they development alternates for different marketing purposes or for releases in different locations. So, they surely might want to list them all and at some point change what is the main one displayed.

I uploaded the new one, but it remained listed as a "Photo".
This is the one we would like to be the poster of the film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2862288/mediaviewer/rm701963520
I would like the old poster removed entirely.
Can you please help?
Many thanks,
Jennifer Corcoran
