Posted image radically different from actual .jpg file

Never realized this before... so ebay can't even upload images that are true to the file ?

I never really noticed before today... other posts on the topic claim photos are desaturated; mine has a CRAZY hue shift.

You think these bozos would make enough money to know what they are doing -- my gawd

The photos look great - and that looks a lot easier than my method which is squashed next to the couch, crawling around on my hands and knees and hovering over a worn bit of white pasteboard, my legs tangled up in the legs of our coffee table.

You know, I think it was about 1998 or so when I had an epiphany: COFFEE TABLES ARE BULLSH!!!  Like seriously think about how much space an actual cup of coffee takes ... now think about how (I bet) you actually use that table -to throw stuff on ("for now") rather than put it away, am I right?  Yet somehow we were all raised think it's an essential part of a living room. Even neat freaks who always put stuff away need them apparently.  What for?  -Their "coffee table books", duh!  -Well that just tells me what's really going on.  I know it's Big Coffee Table; they're in cahoots with Big Book (not literal big books, although coffee table books tend to be pretty large). 

ANYWAY I decided right then I was done with that mess, and haven't owned a coffee table since!  No more undignified sideways crab-stepping around a useless object for me; it's little END TABLES all the way!   Well, and this giant drafting table, which looks absurd in my living room, in front of my recliner.  But I don't care!!  It's my world and I'mma have it how I want it.  You should do the same!

Actually, they're very useful for me because I have the books I'm reading and my tablet spread out on it, and I can lie on the couch and just have my coffee right there within arm's length. If I just had an end table, I would have to sit up.

what picture are you looking at.........did a quick check and don't see anything odd......

LOL how could you know without seeing the original image before uploading to eBay?  The OP is just claiming a change in colors, not anything that would stand out as "odd" like the goofy stuff AI makes.  But dishonest color representation could definitely result in a buyer return.

yep, dumb me thought there would be an example of the mine has a CRAZY hue shift.

Now, that is an image ...

I have a problem with with eBay pixelating very good images, regardless if they are captured via a phone camera or quality scanner.  And it's very inconsistent, happens with some images but not to others.
