Zoom images in eBay listings

IMPORTANT: eBay stopped supporting external JavaScript in June 2017. It is no longer possible to embed image zooms or 360 spins into eBay listings. However, you can still embed 360 spin animated GIFs and static images into your listings. Sirv always serves the most optimal size, resolution and image format to suit each users screen and for the fastest possible page load.
