Facebook blocking eBid picture links

[Anniemcc2]

This is the answer I'm giving to Facebook on the 'let us know' link:

"ebid.s3.amazonaws.com is the picture host for www.eBid.net online auctions and is not 'unsafe'.
It is part of Amazon.com - see https://aws.amazon.com/ or https://aws.amazon.com/s3/
HTH"

Probably get me banned!

I've sent a link to this thread to support

It would seem Facebook have taken a disliking to our image hosting server.

We have contacted them asking why this is but in the mean time there is a link "let us know" on the error page that links to a one box form that can be submitted to Facebook to alert them to the fact they have made a mistake.

Thanks,

I will do that Gazza

I've just been through my FB profile going all the way back to march and marked every auction as not spam [they didn't let me know they'd done this] hopefully that will help a bit too

hi Gazza don't know if it's relevant but Firefox is flagging the picture server as insecure now [only started recently for me], it's the most recent update of FF too

Oh right...if I don't get banned from somewhere for a while then I think I am losing my street cred.

Having posts shot down by Fred Puller isn't really the same

I've just been banned for a week from the boards on the bay because I advised someone that posted about preferring to shop on Amazon that perhaps they should do all their shopping there instead of raving about it on the bay's boards. Before the post was pulled and I given my vacation, I noticed that I had received more than a few "attaboys" from other board regulars.

Just had message from facebook after letting them know my posts are not spam and they have restored them all

Seems they have de-blacklisted our image server at last. Attempting to speak to a human being who is able to understand your specific problem and not give a generic answer at big faceless corporations is just so frustrating sometimes.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

I'm seeing eBid images ok using FF 61.0.1

Check https://ebid.s3.amazonaws.com/upload...040-2755-0.jpg , is it showing a problem in your FF? Can you add a screenshot for us?

Thanks,

Thanks Gazza - all seems to be working properly now.
