I'm writing a hub and trying to import the larger image of an Amazon product but it just keeping saying that the website may be blocking the request. Am I doing something wrong, or is there another way I can show the larger image in my hub??
Hello Holly.
I have used Amazon images in my reviews many times. I have encountered this problem. What I found that resolves the issue is to simply copy the image URL and then paste it into the photo capsule.
It appears that you have resolved the issue, however. One thing to keep in mind when using such a method is to review your hub(s) periodically to make sure that the image is still being hosted by Amazon. I did have one go down as the seller apparently stopped selling the item.
Hi Dale,
I think I've got it worked out now. I'd been copying and pasting the url from my browser, which also contains my amazon account details, so I think that's why they blocked the request. I right clicked and copied the url, so far, so good.
If you are getting a message that Amazon is blocking your request to import an image, that means Amazon is telling you that you cannot use their image.
Thanks Relache, but I've sussed it (I'd forgotton how to do it) I'd been pasting the url code from the browser, when I should have right clicked the page and saved the url that way.
I'm wondering if it is even legal to use Amazon images. I suppose if you're advertising products on Amazon and even end up making a sale they wouldn't mind. But I could be wrong.
I wonder about that, too. I have used Amazon images by clicking and "saving as." I have no idea if this is legal or not.

Hi,I understand how to add images, and I have been able to place them on the right hand side relative to a column of text, but no matter what I try, I cannot get the image to show up on the left hand side with the text to the right. Is that a limitation of the hubpages editing feature, or am I...

I wondered if there had been some change to the proposed order of import? We understood that the people who clicked early on to move their Squidoo accounts to HubPages would be the first to be moved. However, from reports in various groups many people who clicked to do so much later have had their...

Hi all. I have set up Amazon Affiliate program on hubpages and featured Amazon products on a number of my hubs. Looking at it after a while, the link-type report in the Amazon account shows that no one has clicked on the products so far. I wanted to know whether this actually works, so I clicked on...

At one time I got sales from eBay, but now I'm confused. When I try and find a product on eBay that would be appropriate for my Hub, I get a confusing message. Can't remember the exact words, but something to the effect the product must be a "buy it now".Am I doing something...
