WOW!!!
Thanks for that post..sure sounds like ebay does NOT like embedded images...or that some phones do not.
At this point, I do not know a real reason they would discourage this since they no longer profit from pictures (unless you use over 12 I believe).
I know they use to ask every time I called why I did not list directly through them...at which point I explained the photo issue and charges for them.
Now they have nothing to sell unless you use over 12 photos or list in autos (I believe those are only 2 exceptions).
Thanks for posting...I had not seen that.
