Adding pictures to existing listings

I've wasted the best part of a day trying to add additional pics to an existing listing. I want to add 3 more images but get a timeout every time. I've dropped the image sizes to well below the recommended sizes, tried uploading them individually and have disabled anti-virus software and set cookies to accept all and IE8 security settings to minimum. Ive also tried with Firefox. I've tried the "basic" and "standard" loaders but both fail.

Each time the first image appears to upload but when I try to submit the revisions or add a further image it says I'm not connected and I have to enter my password again to get back to the page even tough I've checked the "keep me logged in today" checkbox. It appears that Ebay disconnects me after uploading the first image.

Is anyone else getting the same problem or is it just me?

    I didn't think you could add images to a listing with bids... :confused:

    The missus has just said I'm wrong (as has Premier... they're not the same person :p)

    You should be able to add extra images even with a bid.

    If no joy, then host the images elsewhere (e.g. photobucket) and add them to the description.

  • I did just that. Used tinypic. I still don't know if it's my PC/Internet connection being rubbish or whether there is/was a problem but I'm sorted now anyway.
