    Unable to upload pictures to ebay
    « on: February 06, 2008, 07:42:56 AM »
    I am trying to upload pictures to my Ebay listing but when I click the upload
    it just remains on the upload timer without uploading the pictures to my listing.
    I have gone through a series of suggestions from the ebay costomer services
    but this situation has not changed.
    I have tried to do the same upload on another computer and the pictures have
    uploaded ok.
    Can anyone advise what the problem is regarding not being able to upload pictures
    to Ebay listing.

    You need to tell us more information.

    Tell us about your computer, operating system version, browser & version, etc.

    Also, you need to tell us what eBay has had you try so far.  This way we aren't backtracking.

       Hi Anita

        I have tried the recommended settings with one
        question.
        For the enable Java SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0, I have
        gone to the advanced tab but when I scroll down
        there is no "Java (Sun) " hence there is no option
        "Use Java 2".

        The only options relating to Java under the Advanced

        tab are:-
        Java console enable
        Java logging enable
        JIT compiler

        I have tried all the other settings you suggested
        only the Java one I could not complete as
        you suggested I ticked the box for Java logging
        enabled.

        I have tried to upload pictures but it is staying on

        the upload timer forever, just like the original
        problem.

        This is the other information :-
        Browser version - Orange Speedtouch Connection

        ISP - Orange Speedtouch 330 PPP Connection

        Type of connection - Broadband/ Modem

        Antivirus -  Spyware doctor

        Error message - None just stays on picture upload
                        timer forever

        What size is your photo - Not sure just normal
                                  size have tried from
                                  two cameras both the same
                                  result.

        Error steps  -  Going through tje normal procedure
                        to list an item and the problem
                        occurs at the picture upload, where
                        it stays on the upload timer.

        Listing Time of Day -  I have tried all times
                               throughout the day with the
                               same results.

        Regards

        Bob Simpson

      What size is your photo - Not sure just normal
                                  size have tried from
                                  two cameras both the same
                                  result.
      First of all, you need to know what size the photo is.  If you're saying that it's "normal size," I'm assuming you haven't shrunk the photo at all.  If you camera is decent quality, that means you're probably trying to upload a photo bigger than a meg, which can take a while even on broadband.

      Try that first.

      Also, the reason why you don't see the java options are probably because you don't have it installed.  Download java, as you'll most likely need it for other things as well.

        The pictures I am trying to upload are from the same camera that I used successfully before I used the reload backup CD to install the XP operating system.
        Since you mentioned I have noticed in the add/ remove programs there is no Java installed.
        I have tried to download Java but keep getting the message " MSIEXE.EXE-Ordinal Not Found", with the following message in the box, "The ordinal 280 could not be located in the dynamic link library msi.dll

        Read This   and run the fix first....then try the java install.
        If it doesn't run post back with the name of the java package...you may be DLoading the wrong one.

            Not sure how to download the windows installer from the first link, I have tried but when I try to download "Java Runtime Environment (JRE)6 Update 4 " from ther second link I get the same error message as follows.
            "The ordinal 280 could not be located in the dynamic link library msi.dll."

            Not sure if I have downloaded the windows installer correctly.

            If you're still getting that message, then you haven't installed the windows installer correctly.  Try it again and let us know what happens.

              I have tried to download windows installer from the first link.
              From the files in this download section I successfully downloaded the following
              Windows installer-KB893803-v2-x86.exe this was 2.5MB.
              The other two files Redist.txt, and Windows installer 3.1 EULA.doc, I dont know what to do with them.

              I then tried the Java Runtime Environment(JRE)6 Update 4

              The files to download were
              Windows Offline installations
              Windows Online Installationd
              Windowsx64 Executables

              Non of the three files would download due to the same error message
              ordinal 280 could not be located in the dynamic link library nsl.dll

              Note I'm still not sure if I have downloaded the windows installer correctly
              not sure how to use the first link to do this

              If you are running anything newer than WinME go to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter...have your Windows CD handy as it may ask for it....

                What flavor of Windows is this ? ?
                Keep in mind that if there's nothing wrong with Windows system files this will  happen quite rapidly.
                There's a space between sfc and /scannow

                  Hi patio
                  you were right I didnt see the space between sfc and /scannow, it went to
                  windows file protection and times out ok with no significant change.

                  I am still not sure if I have downloaded the windows installer is there any way I can check this.

                  The microsoft support page is not clear to me and I am not sure how to download the installer
