Hello,
From October 2017, any externally hosted content such as cascading style sheets (CSS), images, or HTML5 that don't use the HTTPS communications protocol will display with a not secure icon depending on your buyer's web browser.
HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure and is the safest way to transmit information over the web.
To avoid any negative impact on your sales, you should contact your hosting provider or third-party partner before October 2017 to find out whether they support HTTPS. As long as they support HTTPS, your item descriptions and images should display properly.
Use the tool developed in collaboration with i-ways to check your listings now on eBay.co.uk and eBay.co.ie.
Visit our Seller Centre for more tips on avoiding security warnings in browsers on eBay.co.uk and eBay.co.ie .
Note : The best way to display pictures of your item is to upload your images to eBay using the standard image gallery feature.
Regards
The eBay team
