This morning we experienced an outtage on the server in which all of Shop.OnRez’s Images are loaded and stored. This may have caused you some troubles if you were uploading any images to your listings.

The issue is now resolved, but you may need to go back and upload your images again.

If you have any questions please contact Miss Sheep via in-world IM, or you can submit a trouble ticket through http://support.onrez.com.
