I know I said something about this a few years ago, but the way ebay names its images has changed and I can't find where I said the trick.
So let's say you want to save an image off ebay. Like the one in this auction:
www.ebay.com/itm/401048033988?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I don't know about you, but for me, this auction isn't giving me the option to zoom in on the image like most auctions, and I don't want to save an image that is only this size if I can avoid it.
If you look at the URL, it is i.ebayimg.com/images/g/aMEAAOSwNyFWguFA/s-l500.jpg and that 500 means 500 pixels wide.
It looks like the largest images ebay allows now are 1600 pixels wide. If you edit the URL to
i.ebayimg.com/images/g/aMEAAOSwNyFWguFA/s-l1600.jpg it will give you the largest version of the photo the ebay seller uploaded.
In this case, it isn't that much larger, but it can be massively larger like the example below:
