Howdy all - this is something we've been working on over the past several months, culminating in our announcement (http://pages.fp3002.qa.ebay.com/seller-center/seller-updates/2017summer/listing-policy-updates.html) that will exclusively use the HTTPS communications protocol. While we had been using it for years for transmission of most sensitive information, we're expanding it to cover the entire site. Thanks!
Bad link above. I believe a correct working link is
http://pages.ebay.ca/seller-centre/news/seller-updates/2017summer/listing-policy-updates.html
Here is the pertinent information from that link.
New requirements for secure images, listing templates, and functionality in item descriptions
To align with new industry security standards, eBay will begin exclusively using the HTTPS communications protocol in the coming months to send and receive information between your desktop browser or mobile device and our site. We have used this protocol for many years for transmission of most sensitive information, and are expanding its use. Item descriptions that contain externally-hosted cascading style sheets (CSS), images, or HTML5 video may be affected. To ensure that your item description and images display properly, ask your hosting provider or third-party partner to support HTTPS and update listing templates or descriptions accordingly. For optimized display on both web and mobile, we recommend that you upload your images to eBay.
