    Default Photo problems - not happy with Ebid request!

    Hi, just tried to list and when I clicked add photo I got a very odd looking page, not the usual one at all. Not only that a message came up stating that Ebid wanted to access my camera and microphone - and that I 'could possibly' be recorded if I clicked agree!! Any ideas, I denied Ebid access.

    Why don't you contact support. That sounds very odd!

    ​I agree with HerMajesty I would contact support. I just went to my gallery and tried all three forms, basic, advanced and webcam and nothing appeared like that for me.

    Sounds like they are talking about the mobile app.

    That would need to access the camera to take images of the item. Not sure why it would need to access the microphone.

    Then contact support@ebid.net and ask. I have never heard of such happening before.

    Do you have a camera and mic connected to your laptop?
