I've caused the no photo glitch on myself by loading my photos first then deleting the ebay stock photo. As Ted said the cure is to delete all photos and upload again but that's not possible after getting bids. If ebay puts a stock photo in your listing make sure you delete the stock photo first then upload yours. There are probably also other ways to aquire the no photo glitch.

 

Since there is no photo displayed on the my ebay page and the listing displays fine once opened it's easy not to know you have the glitch unless you view your listings as others would.

Hi B4.  I agree with you about not having faith in sellers who have no picture in the search result page, however, before drawing that conclusion, I’d still open the listing to see if it’s the same (no pic).  If so, I’d just go on to the next listing.

 

However, if I were eyeballing a search page and saw a “missing” title, I would not think the seller forgot to title his listing, it would be more like “what the heck happened” and I’d open to see what’s going on, hence, traffic.  Now, if the seller has typical spanning words like “LQQK”, or, if the title and item(s) don’t jive, then I would also not bother looking further and go on to the next listing.

Loading your item photo(s), then deleting the ebay stock (?) photo would not be classed as a glitch, it would be classed as stupidity on your part.

Rewind: Delete the “ebay stock photo”? Where do you see that on the form?  That ebay no-photo with the little camera you see on listings occur when no photo was uploaded by the seller, as Ted mentioned.

 

If you’re creating a listing by using the SYI form, the first picture box says click to add pictures. So how did you inadvertently get the no-photo photo? If you add more than one ebay hosted photo, ebay will not allow you to have the first box empty.  Am I missing somethig???  Plus, why would one want to acquire a no-photo photo?

Assuming you see the same thing as me there should be two "no photo" glitches in the listings displayed from this seller. When the listings are clicked the stock photo is displayed so this must be something different then my deleted stock photo scenerio.

I see the same thing you do... the stock photo displays in the listing, just not on the search results list.

 

My glitch, for which I don't have the shot handy, was a Merc. Dime lot listing, for which there was no stock photo ever, since it didn't have Product Details (and it is actually old enough that there WERE NO Product Details for coins then).  There are multiple glitches that manifest themselves the same way, obviously.

Jonny thank you for the tip couldnt get on all day, Kept closing on me

Yeah, life's funny sometimes, you just never know what it has in store.

 

Thank you, I too am glad she had you in her life.

Thanks for clarifying, Johnny.  The link in post 2935 was helpful to see the difference between one with a glitch (your link with blank space) and one showing the little watermark camera, which was not a glitch, just an oops on the seller part.

 

When you all spoke about stock photos (s.p.) I assumed it was an off site photo from Staples, for example, not an in-house (ebay hosted) photo via the product catalog.  Never had a need for the catalog so I never ventured to learn what it was about, but noticed that you utilized it in some of your past listings.  Not sure how they got multiple s.p. in that camera listing and don’t really care ‘cause I never plan to use s.p.

 

For fun I created a mock listing to experience dealing with the product catalog and s.p. and came up with a new glitch.  In the SYI form, picture box 1 had the s.p. (prefilled), box 2 I uploaded a coin, and box 3 was another coin.  When I went to preview the listing, the s.p. was replaced by the coin in box 2 being primary, with the box 3 coin being the second photo to view.  When previewing how it would look in the search result page, the box 2 photo was seen.  Both areas were consistant, but it seems the s.p. fell into limbo.
