    Default Spreadsheet upload, images not being transferred to ebid server

    For some unknown reason the upload spreadsheet is no longer working for images.
    I've done the usual upload and it comes back with error
    "The photo you attempted to upload was not received onto our servers when you attempted this upload"
    Or the same as that line but with the exact web address shown for the image.
    I've checked, double checked and checked again, the images are there online ready.
    They are of the correct size and format as previously used successfully.
    I've no idea why it won't accept them this time.
    Perhaps it the images, so I changed them to some alternative filenames and sizes, still the same.
    Previous upload of the initial 12 items worked perfect with the same web link for them.
    Anybody know if there's an ebid or image hosting problem stopping them being received on to ebid's servers.
    Cheers.

    I came across that thread when my problem first started so I delayed asking here until today as I assumed it would be solved by now.
    Upload tried again a few minutes ago and still same problem.

    Have you tried using a different method, like uploading as a zip file?

    I don't use Ebid servers for pictures, I host them myself for more control, and upload a web reference for images.

    Tried all methods available.
    Pictures are hosted on my site with the exact links as required (and which worked fine a couple of weeks ago).
    Perhaps I should wait a while and try again in a few days.

    If Mauritron is your site that is the reason your pics wont upload.

    Trying to upload pics with a reference to your e-commerce site is not allowed as it looks as if you are trying to sell from your own site rather than eBid.

    I joined ebid in 2003. So I think by now I'd know the rules. I've not used them much because every time I do I end up wasting time with silly problems like the current one. So it's probably a case of not bother again for a few more years and try then.
    Mauritron is my site but the pictures are NOT hosted there and there should be no link from ebid to there.
    Can you tell me how you associate the image uploads address with mauritron when it's not that domain that is hosting them.

    As you didn't state where your pics were hosted and you didn't give an image upload address it was an assumption that this was where your links would lead to after reading your All About Me page.
