Photos from iPhone to Mac, but can't upload to eBay! Why???

Why, after importing photos from my iPhone to my Mac, can I NOT upload those photos to eBay??? The appear in my photo app when I go to it, but they don't appear when I try to add them in eBay. Something is very wrong with this!!!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Interesting. Are you using Big Sur? I just upgraded from High Sierra to Catalina 3 days ago. I do not see a Finder > Preferences > Sidebar item named "Media."


@Todezwis, if you want to use the export method, simply open Photos; from the menu choose File > Export. You can export edited versions or unmodified originals and adjust the size if you like.


Some website uploaders have a drag & drop functionality. You might also be able to drag photo from the Photos app into the upload window, but I am not sure. I always use the export method.

It's there. But you have to access it from a browser.


Try the following:


1 - in safari go to the File menu and select Open File.

2 - in the window that comes up scroll down to the bottom of the sidebar and look for Media.

3 - under it will be Photos.


If Photos doesn't appear open your library and make sure it's the System Photo Library;

SZeke. Thank you for your reply. I right clicked on the photos but don't see an export function - new to Mac and things are really confusing at this point. Shouldn't I be able to determine what file I put them in when I download them from the iPhone, too? It didn't give me options. I'll use the Preview, etc., and test that out, as well.


Thank you,
