uploading ebay listings not showing pictures

[chayben]

Hi i just have a question and wonder if this happens to anyone else.  I recently started uploading my listings in bulk through file exchange and now seller hub. It is much easier but when i scroll through my listings the pictures are sometimes blank until you click on the actual listing and then they will load, but i believe people are not clicking on my listings because it looks like they do not have pictures. Sometimes the pictures that do show when im scrolling are for the wrong item. I currently use IMGUR to host my pictures and then i copy and paste the links into the sheet i am uploading. Is there any way to fix this? Should i try a different image hosting site? Any recommendations? I do not want to go back to uploading listings one at a time.

Thanks!

IMGUR specifically blocks sending their images to eBay.  I scanned your listings and there are 111 listings with no photos (all IMGUR hosted).

When looking at hosting options, be sure to read the terms of service.

https://photobucket.com  has always worked with eBay. Only their paid plan allows eBay hosting. Their TOS says:

Our free account does not allow for third party image hosting

Another member was happy with https://imageshack.com  paid hosting. Their TOS says:

Do not use Free ImageShack accounts for any commercial purpose, unless otherwise authorized by Imageshack in writing. If you intend to use your ImageShack account for any sort of business application you must purchase to one of the offered Subscription plans.

Some sellers are able to use free Google hosting after setting the folder and images to public and locating the hard-to-find direct link to the pictures.

We use BucketLynx (https://bucketlynx.com) for our image file hosting.  In addition to hosting our product image files, it has a feature that automatically populates image file links in our eBay (and other store) bulk upload files, so that feature saves a lot of CSV editing time for large store owners.
