Gallery image not showing up

[dbergert]

I am using the latest version of TurboLister and enter the URL https://photos.google.com/u/1/photo/AF1QipOQps6Y4qC9Q4RE-ZXVrOvQ5O1LVDHtRutH7DyJ

into the first pic in TurboLister which is supposed to be the Gallery Pic but when I 'preview' the listing, there is no picture. Any suggestings to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. I used to do about 5-6 auctions a year with mayby 50 items per auction, but I have not been able to get the pictures to show up for months and have just quit listing items. I can't afford to use the pay applications to replace TurboLister and just want to get back to where I was a year ago.

Thanks for the help

That image link is not valid. It requires signing in to google to view. You will need to provide a link to a publicly viewable image when using the URL format. Do you have the ability to just upload the photos directly from your computer, rather then relying on an external URL?

Not sure what you mean by not a valid link. If i just past the link in my broswer, the pic comes up no problem. I could upload pics from my computer but if I put 50 - 60 items up for auction, it would take a long time to upload all the pics.

Thanks for the reply

OK, so you are absolutely correct. If I log out of Google and paste the link in my broswer, it links to my Google login page. So how do I use Google Photos in ebay or is there another web hosting site that I can use to host my pics?

Thanks for the help.

I'm not that familiar with Google photos, although I do know that some sellers have used google successfully -- but the URL is nothing like the one you posted.  You might check whether there is some method to make the photos "public" in order to share with others.

Most of the other image hosting sites that were quite popular with ebay sellers now charge for the service. And, you would still need to upload all those photos to those sites, just like you would need to upload to eBay directly if you used eBay exclusively.
