There are changes upcoming to eBay picture hosting over the next few months that we are announcing here today. Copy Web Files uploader on SYI Later this month, we're introducing a new upload option for eBay-hosted item pictures. It's called "Copy Web Files" and appears as a new tab in the Add Pictures window on the Sell Your Item form. It's intended to make adding pictures to your listings much easier if you manage your pictures on a web server. It should be especially useful to sellers...

I just heard the news today about Picture Manager retiring end of August. There isn't a whole lot of information on what we need to do to transfer over. I am completely lost. If we want to keep our hosting on eBay, what do we need to do. And will we be able to keep the photos within the templates as we currently do now? It doesn't pay to complain at this point, but another bombshell being dropped, another thing I have to do that will cut into my productivity, another thing that wasn't...

eBay is extending the shutdown period for eBay Picture Manager to after the end of April, 2010. We've extended availability of Picture Manager to allow current subscribers additional post holiday season time to migrate to another solution for including pictures. As noted by Augy earlier this year, pictures and picture upgrades added via eBay per-listing picture hosting are free for US Premium and US Anchor Stores sellers and to all sellers listing in the Antiques, Art, Collectibles, and...

Hi All. I want to learn more about using html codes in TL but have to start at the beginner level. I think these are called html codes....I use for a paragraph and for bullets. I use TL2 at its most simple level. I click "create new item" and simply type inside the description area. The above codes work in the description area. Are there any other neat codes I can add? I would love to add color backgrounds or different size fonts. I would also like to play around with the...

I am too afraid to go to Photobucket where I used to host my images so I tried Imageshack. So far so good except when I post the photos to my ebay auctions there is a black bar under the photo that shows dimension size (look at my auctions to see what I mean). maybe I'm a numpty but I cant figure out why it's even showing. Help!

So, if you can do the PS coding (whether you do the graphics or use client-supplied graphics), please post to this thread so I can direct clients here to find a PS designer. eBay Certified Stores Designer.

I have spent hours on the phone with a couple of ebay employees and they are stumped. My account exec says that it must be some old code written into the email that they can't identify. Does anybody have a clue what it might be? LuLu

I'm guessing they use a specific template to input information about each one of their CD/DVDs, but I would like to know what service or how they are doing it. Each one of their auctions gives specifics about the item they sell. I'm guessing they're able to pull descriptions and pictures from another source to be placed in each individual auction. With almost 1000 items to listed everyday, does someone know what service or how they are adding item specifics so quickly/efficiently? Thanks.

Copy / paste doesn't work. If you are going to help me pretend I'm a kindergartner.I've even tried the practice thing they have here and couldn't figure that out. Don't assume I understand any abbreviations etc.- thanks ahead.

Hello my item descriptions are incomplete in standard but complete in HTML. I recently edited items using copy/paste in turbolister. After synchronizing, my full descriptions are only shown in HTML. Auctiva seems to be the problem. They say they use different description editor which would conflict format code causing loss of data. Anyone know how to fix this without it being totally time consuming? Frustrated!

I've simply copied and pasted the formatting for one type of item I've sold numerous times, each time adjusting simply the text to more accurately describe the actual item up for bid. The ones I just posted this evening are all double-spaced and have odd indentations and what not. I've repeated this by copying & pasting from previous auctions - all with the same strange results. So, there must be some changes that have been implemented on the html rendering side of things. Has anyone else...

My term with Auctiva has expired so all of my listings now have blanks on the scrolling images. Is this the only program available to get these images? I really can't afford Auctiva at this time. Does eBay have a program similar to this? I've searched and searched and can't seem to find one. Will I need to go to each listing and delete the appropriate HTML section to remove the Auctiva blank images?

Introduction for the Project The Enhanced Uploader lets you preview and edit your picture from the Sell Your Item form before uploading. The uploader reduces uploading time by automatically compressing pictures before uploading. But the most important features that users rely on out of convenience is...

Hi, I search for an item, no gallery images come up for ANY of the listings. It's just all blank white squares. I used another computer and it's the same thing. No images for ANY listings. Is it something I need to set or reset on my computer or through my own ebay settings? This has been like this for at least a week. It stinks to have to click on each item just to see the image. Please help. Thank you.

eBay has announced Picture Manager will be retired sometime after April, 2010. What to do about that closely involves the January 26th seller announcement. You are urged to study that announcement especially if you are an eBay Store owner to learn how all the changes will effect you. Does Picture Manager apply to you? You may skip straight down to Cost Considerations ifyou are not being billed for Picture Manager and do not own a Premium or Anchor Store. To confirm whether or not you are...

I don't like the fact that in order to do a close-up, I have to put the camera into the manual setting first, and then adjust another setting to click over to the little flower (macro). My old easy share had the macro flower right on the top dial so I could just turn the dial for the...

Hello All, I've put together what I hope will become a relatively easy to follow worksheet for sellers to follow in determining the level of effect Picture Manager retiring will have on them. Before going to the trouble to translate it into the formatting necessary for a board post, I thought to open it up for revision and improvement (kind of like a wiki) by putting it on AuctionWriter: http://auctionwriter.com/?ve=1681 That's the only one I seem to be able to use reliably....

I want the item to look as if it is suspended. I remember in an old program being able to click on an object and the software would outline that object and you could cut and paste. Does anyone know how to do this in Irfanview? Or even MS Paint? thanks

The "blue box" over "CTRL to select multiple files" is not appearing. It's not there. I have nothing to click on to upload! I also can't copy to an email and I can't delete any pictures.

I went into electronics, and ALL kinds of auctions have the gallery plus working!! At x-mas time, when I was searching for a pocket knife as a gift, gallery plus worked in that category...
