Why is every-other photo skipped when viewing listings with many photos?

[elma_ny]

This is beyond annoying.  When I view enlarged photos in a listing, as I arrow right to go from Photo #01 to Photo #02, the system instead sends me to Photo #03.  Then again & again as I arrow right, I go to Photo #05, then #07, #09, #11, and finally #12.  Why would such a setup be used?  Doesn't eBay want us to look at all the photos in a listing, instead of just half?

So, to view all the photos in a listing, I instead I have to use my mouse to active the thumbnail panel at the bottom, and then find which photo I'm on now, and then I have to click on the next-photo's thumbnail.  What a waste of time.

Multiple the number of listings we look at daily (maybe 200-500 for me) by the amount of time lost viewing each listing of interest (because we have to manually select each thumbnail) and you'll see we're wasting a lot of time with this bizarre tech issue.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can resolve this annoying issue.
