So recently I got the notice from eBay that my listings were unsecure because I used img src to call on images off-site in my listings. eBay has now said we can't use externally hosted images. I'm fine with that, I just need to know how to find the local URLs of the images! Anyone know where I can find the URLs of the images once I've uploaded them!

The issue does not apply to photos hosted in eBay slots at the top of your listings. The problem arises due to photos embedded down in the description.
eBay is not banning externally hosted images. However, if your item description contains images that are hosted over an unsecure connection, eBay will link your description one-click-away. There's a technical reason for that. eBay now delivers pages over a secure connection, but any non-secure content in that page will be blocked by the browsers. To prevent the browsers blocking your description, the solution is for eBay to open a new non-secure page and display the description out there.
It is not hard to find the images in your description. You can edit the listing and remove them if you wish.
Alternatively, if nerdbacon is your own website, you might want to get an SSL certificate installed on your site so that your photos can be delivered over a secure connection. If you do that, you can then change the delivery protocol from http: to https: in all of your listings and then your descriptions will be secure.
