Background, if you requested notifications when a saved search is matched, this email will NOT show the main photo for the item matched. Instead is shows a square with a question mark inside it.
This has been happening for months now, it was working before and is not now. I figured out what the issue was today after further digging. In the email I received today, for example, the email HTML has this as the matched item image url: "https://iebayimg.com/images/g/looAAeSwhSdoF74F/s-l300/p.jpg"
This results in:
Check if there is a typo in iebayimg.com.
Notice someone left out the "." between i and e, the correct url should be: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/looAAeSwhSdoF74F/s-l300/p.jpg
this results in the actual picture of the item that should be displayed in the HTML email.
Not sure who to contact to get this fixed.
