    Just a heads up, looks like the picture uploader is failing to work for a few people- so items are being listed without photos.

    Thanks- am so pleased its not just me! Have spent the past hour (!!!) trying to upload different images and was about to ask if anyone else has the same issue!

    Anyone any advice as to what to do? I rarely ever list on ebay but wanted to take advantage of the free listings day- now I can't get my pictures up I can't see the point...does anyone else know if they reinburse you if you list the pictures a different day or something? Haven't got the time to keep messing around trying this today!

    The last time this happened there was mention on the community boards that trying to upload a photo the day after the free listing weekend resulted in a charge for the whole listing being made.

    However, if you upload the photo- even if it shows the red cross, it may well work and be seen when today finishes.

    It looks like the photos are being uploaded ok. I've just gone back into my listing where they looked like they weren't there and I can see them fine :)

    My listings seem to chop and change a lot with this- I don't get a red icon I get a little broken image icon, I have gone back to some listings and seen another image will then show but other times gone back and seen no images at all show.

    I contacted ebay who said they would put the issue onto the technical team but then said it would only get dealt with if enough people had reported the same error to them. If you do report the error I'd advise going via email as I had a 30 min chat with one assistant where they basicly put me on hold for 95% of it whilst they "looked at my account" and STILL were unable to help!

    Tried to list something and took 3 attempts but finally got images loaded however if I try to revise other listings to show images which previously had not shown they still don't show.

    It was all fine yesterday so I doubt its me/my computer!
  • Glad I found this as I thought it was my computer. My photos arent uploading properly. Just going to carry on and hope they look OK tomorrow or will re-upload the photos.

    It might be very very glitchy today- but the buyers are out. I have only listed a few bits and have three with bids on already.

    Just wondering whether to fight the photograph glitch and try and list a few more bits.
