Problems with photos not displaying?

Anyone having problems today with photos not showing in their listings? They look OK in search listings, but when you click into the actual listing, then the main photo doesn't load; instead, you just get the loading "cycling round" icon indefinitely. It's really annoying and of course affects sales! I've tried deleting and reloading the photos but same result. These are photos I have used previously as well, so should be within size limits etc.

Stumped. :huh: Is it just me?

    I am trying to list a few items now but when I upload the photos the photo upload box does not close even though it states 'uploaded successfully'. The photo's aren't appearing on my listing either.

    You are all getting a lot further than me I have been trying since this morning to list some items and it wont let me load any photos whatsoever.

    I bet the world and his army are trying to list today as it was working last night when I listed the first one.

    Funny how I experience a glitch every time there's a free listing day.
    Maybe they should've spent the time on their system instead of redesigning their logo & making such a fanfair about it.
  • Same here too. Missed lots of listings today because of this. No tech staff responding, managed to get through to customer services who reckon 48hrs to fix. Thats convenient then. And yes, they still found time to sod about with the logo and now I noticed they have changed the icons for sold items, made them tiny and the colour difference between a paid for item and an unpaid item is so close, I am struggling to see it. Way to go eBay! Multi-billion dollar empire without a damn clue, no tech staff to resolve issues and still wildly in love in redesigning the stuff that really doesn't need redesigning. GRRRR!!!!
  • I listed 10 items this weekend, some yesterday and some today and none of the photos would upload as I was doing the original draft.
    After listing them without a photo I went into edit and the photos successfully uploaded first time for every item.

    I have listed all my items without photos. Tried to revise the listings to add the photos but the photo's wont even add in to the photo upload box now, I was getting the uploaded successfully message before but photo upload box wouldn't close automatically so the photos weren't uploading to the listing.

    Thank you for the suggestion but sadly it didnt work for me. I will have to hope they do another free listing next weekend or I will have to list a load of 99p stuff in the week (hubby will be pleased as he hasnt taken photos of that lot yet).
