Ebay is resizing my PhotoBucket images?!!

[goamules]

When I embed image links with HTML from my host, Ebay doesn't touch the code. I upload my auctions with TurboLister.

There is a size limit when you upload pictures through the Ebay system, and perhaps also if you are browsing through their system to Photobucket.

...Too, they're going to block any/all URL linking within listing, starting tomorrow.

You are kidding me?! Does that include <img> tags in the code? Did you read this officially? The main reason I, and everyone, embeds larger pictures is because the native Ebay sizes are tiny and useless. Of course, I remember the days when you had to PAY to put in pictures, and PAY to have larger ones on FeeBay.

Does this mean that the little Maple Leaf logo I use in my ads or the "Hello from Etobicoke" .JPG will not be allowed? How will one imbed high quality photos in the body of the ad then? I want people to SEE them not link to them! If I was to list several things tonight, will the photo links disappear tomorrow? Thank you if you know! This really sucks! But I find that with international selling I often get more on eBay than say here on the forum. Shame to lose this service...

ebay's like Kodak, they're trying to please the share-holders, rather than the customers...

stupid pencil pusher desk-jockey suited big-whigs... all they think about is the money...

I mean, George Eastman was a nut $$$-wise(ever see that documentary on him?):

but he knew what would sell. He had foresight. But that's when everyone used film, no digital...But its still the same philosophy, if you have something that works, why change? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Just better it

Yes, the fine print sucks, but that's pretty much the story wherever and whenever you post on the internet. Everything uploaded to the web is for all intents and purposes, public-- stored on servers forever, and someone is likely to appropriate it. But I really don't give much of a hoot what happens to the images of eBay stuff I've sold unless somebody tries to appropriate it as their own stuff. Most everything I do have concerns about gets prominently watermarked.
