the standard uploader works best with a max picture size of 1000x1600 pixels

you need latest version of flash installed

you may need to make firefox default browser for ebay

http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/firefox/

 

 some are suggesting use google chrome

you can add pictures to the description by self hosting for free

If contact us has disappeared then it sounds like a browser problem.

 

Many things have gone haywire since the new logo and other updates.

 

Firefox was always the best browser here but even that seems to be struggling.

 

Try Google Chrome or even Internet Explorer (IE 8 had issues last week though).

 

Make sure you have the latest version of flashplayer installed.

 

Lots of questions about uploading photos so you are not alone.

Click on the link below for eBay contact details:

Note:

 

The eBay site has been going through several changes and it resulted in a few glitches here and there.

 

The general advice at the moment is:

 

Try the standard uploader on advance sell.

 

Clear cookies.

 

Try other browsers.

Hi

 

I've heard these issues appear to be tied to the new update for firefox (with isolated reports of issues with IE 8 but these are not confirmed.

 


While we wait for Firefox to get their stuff sorted we will be looking to get something done at our end to fix it temporarily.

 

In the meantime:

 

- If you are using Firefox 16 or higher, switch back to an older version or instead of using the Sell an Item option use Sell Similar from another listing.

 

- If you are using Internet Explorer 8, switch to an older or newer version of IE or i

 

- If you are using the Basic up-loader switch to the Standard up-loader and vice versa.

 

- You can  also switch to a different browser like Chrome, Opera and Safari (for MAC users).

 

Regards,

James

I have been unable to upload any pics for the past few days. Looked at some of the help given by members such as clear cookies and use another browser, but I have not got a clue what cookies are other than biscuits and do not know how to change browser---- any help would be gratefully received.  Bear in mind, It must be simple, just like me.

 

Regards
