you can always download the image. Even in Firefox.
Just right click "view Source"
then download the jpeg file.

It seems that ebay has done another update and it not a good one for the
consumer.
What is happening now is that when an auction is over (completed) ebay has now removed the seller's pictures that were posted to the ebay server. The only picture remaining is a very small thumbnail which is partly obliterated with the word "ended."
It should be noted that any pictures that the seller has posted on an external
site such as photobucket or inkfrog, etc, is still visible on the completed
auctions.
This problem was originally thought to be a "glitch" that they were working on,
but since being told this, I have read that this was fully intentional by ebay...probably
to save server space. You ask one rep and they tell you something different (what else
is new?).
There is a temporary fix that you can do, though. In the address bar of the competed item, you can replace
the ".com" with ".ca" or ".co.uk" or any other foreign ebay server address.
This will let you see the completed auction with all the ebay photos.
Some of the ebay customer service reps were clueless as to why I or anyone else would need to see ALL the ebay pics! One even said that the obliterated thumbnail of ONE pic was enough for us!
As a side note about saving the pics, remember that you can save ebay pics if you use Internet Explorer and right click the photo. This does NOT work using Firefox.
Hope this helps someone out there in phono-land.
