When I open new listing on ebay to sell an item, I hit "add pictures" which brings up the ebay standard uploader. That box works fine, I choose my image and hit upload. It then uploads it and it is done successfully in the box. However the picture will not show up in my listing as it should. I went to Internet Explorer and tried it there and it did work so that is why I think it has something to do with Firefox.

hello, bug #775879 offers some background into the issue - essentially the breakdown of the ebay photo uploader is a by-product of a security relevant fix that landed in firefox 16. ebay is already aware of the issue & hopefully they are working on implementing changes in their code to solve the issue.

I have an older version of Firefox and as of Saturday (10/13/12) I could not upload pictures at all when trying to sell. It wouldn't even allow me to upload from an outside stored picture site (i.e. photobucket). I called ebay and they said this issue started out on Sat. with the Firefox browsers and actually started to affect other browsers as well. After talking with them, I tried listing at ebay through an old Safari browser that was still on my system. No issues at all but I still prefer to use my Firefox browser on the iMAC.

hello cynders, this issue has been addressed by ebay in mid-october. if you're still seeing such problems this probably has another cause - please open a new question and provide more details about your system.
