The correct folder is media/import. Please double check your .csv image fields that they do not have leading slashes, but a relative to the media/import folder. Example: for the file /media/folder/sample.jpg the correct .csv field entry is sample.jpg, not /sample.jpg. - Jürgen Thelen
trying with sample.jpg its not working - SureshKumar Vegesna

I also had the same problem and found this thread for the image to be imported has be /image.jpg without folders.

A few additions made by my own observations:

  1. When you import products with images to magento make sure, the directory media/catalog/product is empty
  2. Upload your product images to the directory media/import/product/ (create it if necessary)
  3. Ensure that your image-paths in the csv-file have a leading /

upload your file and get your products imported with images.

This solution worked for me, after several others failed.
