Photos are taking forever to upload on ebay

I am having trouble getting my pictures from my computer to upload to Ebay.  This has just started happening in the last couple of days.  I have already cleared the cache and cookies from Safari.  Anyone know what is going on?

I haven't had any problem.  Did you perhaps change your camera settings?  I set my camera to take 2.5MP photos, and they upload quickly.

I sometimes have this issue. I find that if I upload one picture at a time, as opposed to many, it actually goes way quicker despite having to click though things a few times to upload each separately. At one point few months ago, many sellers were complaining about it.
But, First rule out that it isn't your connection issue. (Do items upload or download on other website quickly for you? if not, you have a connection or computer issue)

Might have something to do with the new ebay photo enhancement uploader they just put on here.

Try using a different browser like maybe Chrome and see if that helps with the speed.

Thank you for your reply.  I think you’re right.  EBay doesn’t want to acknowledge that the problem could be something on their end but I think it is.  Lately I’m not having a problem anymore.  I didn’t change any changes...go figure?

It still was most likely your browser.  Since you are no longer experiencing the problem, the browser you are working with most likely got updated.

 

If this happens again.  You can easily figure out if it is Ebay or your browser.  Just try a different, main stream browser like Chrome or Firefox.  If you have no problems with those browsers, then it was certainly the browser you were using not getting updated and/or some other issue.
