"Seller's Image No Longer Online" is a placeholder graphic used to replace missing images. It may be used in a few different situations.
If any embedded images are missing from your listing description, you may have deleted or renamed those images on SSB. (This is the most common reason for missing images.)
If all embedded images are missing from your listing description, including template graphics, there may be a problem with either our image server or your SSB account.
If some of the embedded images in your listing(s) are affected:
You may have deleted those images from your Image Manager. It's also possible that you renamed those images in your Image Manager.
The HTML in your listing description at eBay links directly to the images in your Image Manager, using the filenames they had when you created the listing. If images by those names cannot be found in Image Manager, eBay will have nothing to display.
We recommend checking your SSB Image Recycle Bin, to see if your missing images were deleted. If you cannot find the missing images there, you will need to reupload your images to the Image Manager. They must have the same filenames as before. If your missing images are already in the Image Manager, but have the wrong filenames, you will need to rename them.
How to UnDelete Images:
Go to Images > Utilities > Restore Images to reach Image UnDelete Manager, which contains your SSB Image Recycle Bin. Here, you can find images that have been deleted within the past 30 days.
Find and select the images you want to restore, then click on the UnDelete checked images button.
How to Rename Images:
Go to Images > Manager > View Images to reach the Image Manager. Locate the image that needs to be renamed. Click on the "Name" link in its image info. Type a new name, then click the Rename button.
As soon as your images are back in place and have the correct names, they will immediately begin showing in your listings again. If you do not see the images in your listings, try pressing Ctrl and F5 at the same time while viewing your listing, to reload the page without using cached information. If the restored images are in multiple listings, you may need to clear your browser's cache.
If ALL of the embedded images in your listings are affected -- including template graphics:
