    I have changed browser, from FireFox to IE and it is now allowing me to upload photos :)

    I had been entering listings all day and suddenly could no longer get the photos to show up after they were successfully uploaded. I re-entered the listing in IE8 and it worked perfectly. Try switching browsers. I have no idea why this would work, but it did for me.

    I tried on both Firefox and IE and still couldn't get the photos to work.

    Ive cleared my loft and thought i would stick a few on. Couldn't get pics to upload until about 7pm.

    I switched to internet explorer - but don't know if that did it or they just fixed the error.

    Ebay wouldnt even load up around tea time.

    I have now managed to get the photos to upload using Firefox. When you click add photos, select 'standard' in the photo upload box. The photos won't upload for me using the 'basic' option which is automatically selected but changing it to 'basic' solves the problem.

    Not just me then! I managed to list (using IE 9) but the photos don't show when you click into the listing, unless you refresh the page a few times. Annoying! But it sounds like I got further than some of you. I guess ebay were swamped this FLW. Who'd've though it eh, anyone would think that Christmas was coming or something (except ebay, it seems).

    Still not been able to add photos, but now it's getting one stage closer when I use Internet Explorer: the Basic Uploader lets me add photos to the pending list now, but when I click "upload" it keeps cycling on the first one; and the Standard Uploader now displays the "Finished" button after it claims the pics are successfully uploaded, but they still don't appear on the listing. The Self-Hosting tab is absent. I'm getting very frustrated with this.
