Ah, thanks. I’ve upgraded to 7.09, will repair image links as soon as my ISP gets the new SSL certificate installed on my server.

Thanks for all the help and explanation!!

I did the update of the template as you suggested and did a “Revise.” On a number of random templates I checked they pass the “Preflight Window” check without the HTTP error. However I have another problem. In the Paid Template that I use, I reference an external image file for my store logo. The existing URL is an HTTP address which of course now is not permitted. If I change the URL to put an “S” after the HTTP, it shows up as a broken image because the site where I have the image won’t let me access it with an HTTPS URL. Any suggestions?

Here is the URL for the image with HTTPS: https://redmoonhenna.com/EbayGraphics/GarageSaleTemplateHeaderWide.jpg

Here it is with the standard URL:

You need to enable HTTPS on the redmoonhenna.com server by purchasing an SSL certificate for this domain and installing it on the server. Your ISP should be able to help you with that.

Or I suppose I can find another site to host the file that has an SSL certificate already - Thank you for your help.

GarageSale always used to that when you were using our image server or your own image server. If you mean by “link” a clickable image that will enlarge when clicked, you are correct. Clickable image links are outlawed by eBay. But image can still be in your description, provided they are using…

FYI, you can also fix the http —> https issue with the bulk edit tool in Ebay; assuming you are hosting your images on Ebay.

Select the listings you want to edit, and go to Edit Listings in Bulk -Find and Replace. Type http in the find window, and https in the replace window. I fixed all 742 of my active listings in five minutes…

You can simply revise your active listings by select “Revise Listing” form the “More” button in the toolbar. Please see the help here:
https://manual.iwascoding.com/gs7/en/Listings_Section-Revising_Listings.html
A video tutorial is available, too.

Before invoking the revise command you might want to check our overview page where you find all info regarding the changes and provide you with instructions what might be needed to do to make your active listings compliant to eBay policies.
Please visit the “How to make your listings ready for eBay’s new policies” page here:

How to make your listings ready for eBay's new policies (https, links, active content)

Overview Due to new eBay policies links to non-eBay websites, including links to images, are no longer allowed. Links are only allowed if they conform to eBay’s link policy, e.g. you can still link to your eBay store, other eBay pages or to a YouTube video. Also, eBay requires all resources (e.g. images) that are embedded in the listing description to use the secure HTTPS protocol instead of non-secure HTTP protocol, e.g. images that use a “http://” URL. “Active content” is forbidden in eBay…

The “Repair Image Links” is only used for http image links you manually inserted into your listing description.

Image Links added to your description automatically by GarageSale get fixed automatically when invoking the “Revise” command.
