I also found this eBay help page that looks helpful.

I went through and revised my 400 to 500 listings months ago when eBay first threatened us with the whole ‘https’ thing. However, I’ve lost count as to how many times I’ve logged into their site and found it unsecured. And that’s how hackers are getting into our eBay accounts. For a site that’s just a selling venue they have way too much power and it’s scary.
Can someone please clarify what this means?
I upload my photos to my computer and then I upload to eBay……NO GOOD NOW?
I have a website blog that is HTTPS……..Now I have to upload my photos to my hosting?
so then ok if it is on my hosting….how do I get that image with the HTTPS onto ebay?
Can someone explain this in detail. Thanks
More than likely you are using ebay picture services to host the images. If that’s the case then you are already good to go as they would manage all of the settings mentioned here.
I still use Turbolister, loading the photos from my computer. Am I going to have a problem with this change? Thanks
Https is nothing but a huge money grab.
Any site that NEEDS https uses it..such as any site that stores personal information or transmit purchase data.
Images sites DO NOT NEED https especially personal image sites.
