Want to save ebay ad for car I bought

I bought a car on ebay last Thursday, and his ad included ~60 pictures!,
so I wanted to save them, and using Firefox, I clicked on Save Page as,
which is supposed to save every little part of a webpage, and at least
once I've tried that and it worked.

But this time I did it with the original listing and the one that shows
up after I bought it and it only has the top screeen or two. Even
though there were 57 pictures, the top left hand corner only had 12
pictures, but even those don't "work". The first one shows but I can't
get anything to show the others. The page is dead compared to a usual
ebay page where clicking on thigns makews things happen.

I copied all the text as a text file, but does anyone know I can
download all the pictures, other than doing 57 screen shots?



This is not so I can later complain to the seller. I understand the
meaning of ASIS. It's mostly because I'll never get around to taking
pictures and he's already done a good job. (with the exception of the
dash. There are only 2 or 3 pictures of that and it misses things I'm
interested in, but nothing could be there except maybe poisonous snakes
that would have stopped me from buying the car.

I use Fireshot (add-in) with Firefox that takes screen captures of
entire webpages.

I just saved some e-bay listings of autos for sale, and the saved htm
file includes all the photos.

Got a link to the page?

The SingleFile with the required SingleFile Core extensions in the
Chrome browser allows for saving complete web pages as a single
hypertext file.

I suppose someone more adept at all the various operating
systems and software versions will have a better answer but
I just right-click each image and select "save as". You
might find a date useful for a group of images such as
1706A.jpg, 1706B.jpg etc.

You'll have to open each picture by clicking on the thumbnail and save it manually. Rt click on the photo and select the "save picture as" option. Yes, it's a lot of work.

Use the browser print option and print to PDF.

If you don't have a PDF print, download "cutePDF", install and select it
instead of your actual printer. It's basically a PDF converter and can
save ANY document or file as a PDF. Therefore, print the Ebay webpage as
a PDF and it'll save the entire content as it is. Then you can actually
print the file to your printer whenever you want to take the paperwork
with you.

In the Firefox "Save As" dialog on the lower right you have choices:
Web Page complete
Web Page HTML only
Text Files
All Files

The Web Page complete option saves the web page HTML file with all the
links in the web page adjusted to use a local folder with the same name
as the HTML file. Like this:

Directory AAS_files <== folder
File AAS.html <== original page with links adjusted

All the images should be somewhere in that directory.

If you used some other option, someone attempting to help would need to
know what you did.
