I had my first encounter today listing with the Optional eBay Gallery Image situation. For me it was a PITA. When I unclicked to disable it, all was fine until I did an error check. Then it reset itself. I was constantly correcting it, adding another unnecessary step to the process. For me, I don't want customers just looking at my pictures - I want them to read the item description, too. I do understand why folks would appreciate it. So, I would urge you to create an option to turn it off permanently. Many thanks.
