Gallery Display Issues with Dropbox Image Template Upload

I am uploading listings via .CSV templates on the Reports page. The listings are uploaded successfully, but the images that I link (raw Dropbox links) don't display in the small view, but do display when I actually open the listing.

 

Here's the link I'm using:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ekq552v2l5n17r6/us-navy-uss-abraham-lincoln-cvn-72-silhouette-veteran-chal...

 

Is there something wrong with this that would be causing this issue? How can I get around this to continue using the .CSV templates, so I don't have to manually insert gallery images for 300+ listings?

If the image appears in the listing, but not in the search thumbnail, that usually means that your listing photos are not rehosted on eBay and are being delivered from the original source. The transfer failed. Open the listing and inspect the URL of the main photo to confirm.

Actually leads to this image

So eBay may be losing the redirection.  You could try the second URL to see if it works. If it does, I don't know how you would find all of the conversions.
