Why can't just drag photos on my desktop with Sierra 10.12 and Photos 2.0?

I used to be able to simply drag a photo from Photos or iPhoto directly on the desktop of my iMac.  Then, I was able to drag the photos located on my desktop to eBay, Craigslist or other sites that I use to sell items.  Now, it seems I have to use a visit to first export the photos to the office, open finder, click Desktop and THEN dragging them to my desktop iMac computer.  Am I missing something or is this the new method to move photos on my iMac desktop.  I apologize for what may be a very stupid question, but I can't help but feel that I lost the ability to make effective use of the Photos and my iMac.  For any help or suggestion is greatl

By dragging from the photo browser to the computer desktop still works for me.  As soon as I drag to an empty space on the desktop the pointer turns into a green '+' and I can put the photo.

If it does not work for you, there could be something problematic about the photos you want to drag.  Photos can be edited or exported? What is the file type of the photos you are trying to drag-and - drop?

Using iCloud photo library? You have iCloud allowed to sync your desktop and Documents folder with iCloud?
