Yesterday I relisted about 50 items, using eBay Relist. From the Unsold items, I selected about 10 items at a time and then selected relist. I noticed that none of the gallery images are displayed on any of those items. This is not the first time this has happened, but I've never seen all of them missing the gallery.

I'm having the same problem, except these weren't manual relistings. Most of mine (around 200) were relisted automatically as they were GTC items ready to renew. Another 12 were new listings that I uploaded through File Exchange and they all are missing Gallery images as well. Even funnier, if you drill into the listing, the image is just fine....and even the documentation clearly states that the Gallery image is the first photo. This guarantees that this is a bug on their side, and one introduced yesterday since it hasn't happened before.
I contacted Concierge Support this morning, and while they were really sorry, they didn't offer to do anything (like escalate) other than put in a bug report which is pretty much useless for the current problem. Using the "Fix gallery images" doesn't work, and neither does a File Exchange update. The only thing that I've found that works is to manually go in and fix them one at a time. I have well over 5000 items that are going to do the same thing within the next 30 days, and I am not excited.
If they would escalate this to a File Exchange specialist, I think there must be a solution, but since they are unwilling to do that, I feel like I'm pretty much on my own. Anyone have any ideas? I should be able to send just "Revise" for action, item id, and PicURL, but this is what isnt working.

This doesn't appear to be an isolated issue as I'm having the SAME problem. In addition, several of my listings were new ones that came over from Auctiva. NO IMAGES! I also agree that it began yesterday. I was hoping images would magically appear by today but no such luck. I no longer have a store and am a pretty small potato but will be following conversation....

Same issue w/ new listings using Auctiva

Just "spoke" with a help person. Issue has been officially reported, they know about it, are working on it, and have no clue as to when it will be fixed. I also requested that issue be posted to Seller Announcements. Now we wait....

this is the common response the reps have on their clue cards. The issue has been going on for awhile now and resurfaces from time to time. Don't hold your breath waiting.

Hi lotzabooks,
You mentioned something about going in and fixing them one at a time? Can you tell me how to do this?
Thank you!!

I am still having trouble with gallery images, so I called in today & gave 4 specific item numbers. Person asked if that was all I had - I said I have 40 more. Today, the missing images were on new listings & relisting unsold auctions & GTC. However, if I let the GTC roll over - they all had images.

so aggravating. ebay really needs to get their S**t together & stop neglecting their Sellers

drmom....they won't allow replies, so I'll answer this way.
If you go into Edit mode, delete your images, and then readd them, it seems to be working ok. I'm linking to an image from another website, but I would think it would probably work if you uploaded the new picture completely as well. I hope it works for you.

It's not just relisted items. Yesterday we added about 3500 new items with Wonderlister and no gallery images visible. You can change them manually as lotzabooks says but editing 3500 listings by hand (images are also linked from our own server) is extremely time consuming. I checked the catergories in which we sell and there are a lot of other new items not displaying gallery images, so it's system wide although I think only with hose sellers using file exchange or third party listing tools. I hope ebay gets this solved fast.

EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!

I too found that if I deleted all images and reloaded them gallery image appeared. Takes a bit of time when there are many items to fix but this work around is effective for now.

Me too - I listed some today but no gallery pics. I removed them and put one up to see when the pics come back so I can relist. I have seen them missing in the gallery. If it was this way yesterday wonder when they will fix it. Probably because they are putting up managed payments here come the glitches.

I dont even know how to do that. I am keeping them down until it is fixed. and with the GTC they will keep coming down if no gallery pic. such great service from ebay
