Changing Your Gallery Picture

Gallery pictures are usually generated within minutes of being submitted, but may take up to several hours at peak times. If your Gallery picture is not being displayed in search results within a few hours of when you submitted your listing or if you’ve received an email from eBay indicating a problem with your Gallery picture, you may want to resubmit or change your Gallery picture. You may change your Gallery Picture as long as there are no bids and more than 12 hours remain on your listing.

Note: You must include at least one picture in your listing for your free Gallery Picture.

To change your Gallery picture

If you have provided only one picture, replace the existing picture or add a new picture to your listing.

If you have provided several pictures:

  1. Go to My eBay (you may be asked to sign in) and click the Selling link under All Selling in My eBay Views. The list of items you are currently selling appears.

  2. Select the item you want to change the picture for and select the Revise link from the pull-down menu under the Action column.

  3. In the Bring your item to life with pictures section:

    • If you selected eBay Picture Hosting, select the picture you want to use as your Gallery picture by moving it to the first (far left) position.

    • If you selected Gallery picture Web address, (self-hosting) enter the Web address for your picture.  

  4. Click the Change button.

  5. Review your new Gallery picture and then click the Save Changes button

Note: The recommended size for the picture you submit is 1000 -1600 pixels on the longest side for self-hosted pictures. Source pictures with smaller dimensions can be used, but may result in lower quality Gallery pictures.
