I am having a problem with some new listings on my amazon zshop. These new listings (about 300) all have images which are hosted through BAYPAL.com. The images are showing within the listings themselves, but the thumbnail images are not coming up.
My roommate has his own ZSHOP and his images are also hosted by BAYPAL. The images on his site are all fine. I have contact amazon.com’s zshop support and they were (basically) useless. They sent me an email stating that perhaps the images are no longer valid. Of course, this is nonsense because if they were not valid, the larger images wouldn’t be coming up either. The problem is that only the thumbnail images are not coming up.
As a fix, I have started going to each listing and manually copying the image file to my hard drive and then going into edit the listing and uploading the image directly to amazon.com’s image hosting service. So far, I’ve done about 100 of them but it seems pointless to fill out a spreadsheet so I can bulkload my listings only to find out that the images are appearing properly.
I know that recently BAYPAL switched their servers. Although all my listings have the correct BAYPAL server name, this is the only difference between my friend’s listings (image-wise that is) and mine.
Anyone have any ideas? Who do you guys use to host your AMAZON.Com images (aside from AMAZON)? Can you suggest an image-hosting site that doesn’t charge for their services that works well with AMAZON? Thanks!
