imgur Images work on Mobile but NOT on PC. Help!

For some reason my imgur-image only works on eBay mobile and listing's preview, but not on standard browsers. For ease of testing I've removed all other HTML and simply put this in the eBay description's HTML tab:

 

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/I2L6vJF.jpg">

 

Image shows up fine during my listing preview;  it also shows up on mobile devices after I've posted; but for some reason it shows up as a broken image link on all standard browsers. Here is the listing:

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/124880646245

 

Any ideas on how to fix this? Does it work on your mobile app too? Or maybe its just my PC and laptop? Please let me know as I've troubleshooted this as much as I could, but can't seem to find a solution or a good reason why this would be happening.

 

Thanks,

Blu

You'll have to find another image hosting service @bluiiis perhaps your own domain. Years ago, Imgur began interrupting img src requests originating from ebay.com, including from these community boards.

 

Their detection is not perfect, but it's frequent enough to be annoying.

We have no bahamas today.

Thanks for checking, seems to be an imgur issue. Maybe there is a better FREE service that works as well as Imgur, but 100% of the time on eBay.

I figured it was something like this or eBay blocking it. 

 

I did find this as a hosting service. Free for basic pics with a little knowhow.

We use BucketLynx (https://bucketlynx.com) for our image file hosting.  In addition to hosting our product image files, it has a feature that automatically populates image file links in our eBay (and other store) bulk upload files, so that feature saves a lot of CSV editing time for large store owners.

Check them out.
