Embedding Images in eBay

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I haven't found it.

For years I have embedded Dropbox images in eBay listings. Under the old system, the link created by Dropbox looked like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3fdhrtekku1nne8/AP_Zofia_White_Dress.jpg?dl=0

This code would then embed the image in a description:
<img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/3fdhrtekku1nne8/AP_Zofia_White_Dress.jpg?raw=1" border="0" width="626px">

However, new images uploaded to Dropbox generate a link that looks like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o8m8ndhzdhu5d72x84m2h/AP_Mirrabella_ShortKimono.jpg?rlkey=0iqsx5rs7c0vsj5kz78hlc9wp&st=nupsa3yn&dl=0

This code now just generates a broken link:

<img src="https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o8m8ndhzdhu5d72x84m2h/AP_Mirrabella_ShortKimono.jpg?rlkey=0iqsx5rs7c0vsj5kz78hlc9wp&amp;st=nupsa3yn?raw=1" border="0" width="626px"><div style="text-align: center;"></div>

Obviously something with the rlkey system isn't working with eBay, but what is the solution? Thanks.
