It is disappointing that ebay deletes photos when they no longer need them, but it is a business and there is no profit in keeping sold items active.
I have an extensive archive of downloaded photos of Luftwaffe aircraft from old ebay auctions on my hard drive which I would gladly share publicly if I could find a suitable stable website. I initially intended to use Photobucket but now it is almost unusable due to pop-ups. Then I tried Pinterest but photos must be uploaded one at a time which would take several years. I found some discussion groups but they seem to spring up and then quickly wither with monotonous regularity.
