ebay has recently made some changes in the Basic ebay photo OR what you call it Picture Manager. The details as mentioned in the recent announcement were as follows:
See if something is of your help...

The enhancements to Picture Manager include:

One-step upload and insert into the Sell Your Item form – Previously members needed to first upload a picture to Picture Manager and then insert it (as a separate step) into the listing they were creating. Now, when you add a picture to Picture Manager while you are listing your item in the Sell Your Item (SYI) , the picture is automatically added to that listing . You save a whole step!


Ability to track pictures in active listings – Now you'll be able to identify which of your hosted pictures are being used in active listings.


Faster display – We've optimized how we handle thumbnail pictures, so they'll display faster than before.


Support for new Web browsers – We have updated support for many Web browsers including the increasingly popular Firefox.


More user-friendly design – We've made uploading, editing, and renaming pictures in Picture Manager easier. We've also reduced the number of mouse clicks needed to accomplish these tasks.
.


best regards

Using a free image hoster should help you load your photos. I use www.imageshack.us for my photo hosting, information and help for using an image hoster can be found here:

www.erns-eporium.co.uk

Here are links to two of photobucket's tutorials for using hosted images on eBay.

http://tutorials.photobucket.com/tutorial_42.html
http://tutorials.photobucket.com/tutorial_50.html

Sounds to me it's time for those that can't get eBay picture hosting to work for them, to change to another host. Click here to learn how to add images to an auction with HTML code and with Web image hosting:

http://www.zoicks.com/addingimages.htm

I simply bypass eBay's picture services and use my own webspace. It is time to learn to put pictures in your auctions by using a host. A few advantages: Absolute control over quality including size and detail, Much better, clear pictures, Add as many as you want in each auction, Lower costs - as little as zero, Placement anywhere within your description, Add more pictures when you have bid(s), No eBay downloads required, and Pictures can be removed upon auction close. Now's the time to learn to host your own pictures.

http://cgi3.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=mr_plopster#pic

I have also been using Photobucket for quite some time. They offer free or paid hosting. I haven't had any problems. There's some good info on here:

http://cgi3.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=purpleangel_d

Here's a list of web hosts:

http://bulls2.com/indexb/freeservers2.html

To have multiple free images you need to use an external image hoster. The one I use is photobucket. As well as this you will need to use the HTML option when creating the auction listing, there is information about doing this here:

Ebay have done something bad as I used to be able to add photos easily - now I have had to use photobucket which means I have no photo in gallery. Would help to know what they have done to stop me using the "easy" upload!

I have IE as my browser.

Any ideas?
