Error "your photos are still uploading please wait a moment and try again" when uploading images

[spike_2001]

I have received this message on and off for the past few months.  Its infuriating.  I upload a new image to an existing auction, scroll down to the "Revise" button on my phones app, and I get this message "your photos are still uploading please wait a moment and try again"?  I wait a few minutes but I am not able to save the changes. I have to discard changes, and then go back through the whole process sometimes several times before it takes the change.  Am I really the only one having this issue. Its been going on for months?  My productivity is shot because of this.  I even got a new Iphone 16 pro, and it does the same thing on that phone.

File a tech report - it's fast and easy and eBay does review these reports. 

Options through the app:

1. Shake your device while the app is open and that will trigger the option for you to file a tech report or submit feedback on product features.

2. Anywhere you see the three dots or the ? you can tap on that to file a report.

I’ve been having the same problem and seems like it’s getting worse. If there’s just a couple of watchers on it I’ll say forget it and use “sell similar listing” and then add the photo, and of course I can list it immediately with no photo upload waiting time message, so by that logic I know it’s not anything on the User end.

Trying to sell on Ebay without using a real computer is a challenge. The apps are crap when it comes to listing, and not much better for buying.

You can always try using the browser on your mobile device.

Update. I realized the pattern happens when I add a photo and then drag it to a new position. Usually if I add a photo, it’s a new Main photo, so when I add it, I drag it up to the first slot. But if I add a photo, not touch it and leave it at the end where it uploads and then click revise, it will immediately revise the listing. I still have to go BACK into the listing a second time, drag the new photo into the slot I want, and then revise it, but at least it lists and no “your photos are still uploading” message. Not sure what extra revisions do in the “backend algorithm” and indexing, but I’d rather have good photos added soon as possible.
