check one of my yahoo auctions under toywebb or ebay under toyweb. theres a link at the bottom of the page to there site. It seems some of your questions cross over to ebay as well when it comes to bulk posting. if you notice yahoo doesnt have a specific email/userid in the csv file. You just log on under whatever yahoo site you want to bulk upload to. No problem with ebay as well when it comes to bulk listing to multi sites. just change the email address at the top of the bulk heading and your set. Since ezlister is a database as well you can add and adjust names to it as well. You'll have to have the program in front of you to understand better. just email me if you have anymore ?'s

just to add on the thumbnail thing-your confusing ebay with yahoo again. if you put a html graphic link in the description box of yahoo. the graphic will show as a thumb on yahoo.I can have my pages pop like a gallery and also have the pix pop-up at the top of the page as well and i dont use those 3 image storage cells yahoo offers.
this can also be accomplished thrugh amazon and ebay as well if you use embedded graphics in your description. The trick is to have a dummy image url setup in the image url space, so that the little camera or whatever that icon is popup.

pop - on the thumbnail - I am not looking for the camera icon, but for a picture of my item to show when a potential buyer clicks "show only pictures" after completing a search. This is the only way I personally shop yahoo and so my reality is that if you do not have this thumbnail - you don't even exist.
As far as I know the only way to show up in "pics only" is to use Yahoo's space. Do you know different?
Thanks

You hit the nail on the head! :0 Go back in and you have to upload a pic there! First pic goes as a thumbnail for photos only!
Apparently The Tamer or AM Pro has not come up with a way to do it yet! 
Only problem is right now photos only doesn't gain you squat, since they are not sorting by page in end time sequence!
The first page for toys-dieecast-matchbox-sort by photo only has barely changed in the past five days and always comes up the same and first! 
Great for the sellers of those items! Everyone has had to look at them ever since the rule of 1000 and upgrades!
Look at my thread on photos only! I posted one of the continuing replies I have been getting from Yahoo support!

warr - I am going on holiday for the weekend and expecting to come back and see all these bugs ironed out, and all Yahoo sellers HAPPY!
Since I plan to laze around while they fix it for me, I can't really complain. I will be off work leaving the Yahoo crew to toil - pullin', pushin', tuggin' and trying to get it back the way it was. The gracious thing for me to do is to offer them a cocktail, but considering the page looks drunken already I think I better just duck out.
They'll get it fixed.
Keep the faith.
I DO YAHOOO!

Have a good long weekend!
Hope your right about fixes!
I have been partial to Yahoo ever since I started on them over two years ago! Just hard to get bidding going with all the spam in collectibles categories and not enough sub categories to spread it out!
Another topic!
I do Yahooey also!!!

<<<<<<.... Just hard to get bidding going with all the spam in collectibles categories and not enough sub categories to spread it out! >>>>>
warr - the upside of this is that excellence stands out and gets you bookmarked. Yahoo buyers are ultra loyal.
I personally don't expect a bidding war anymore on any site - I just price 1 bid wins and make the sale (after sale after sale after sale).
Anyway, I feel a bit like Yahoo's Molly Brown. Always optimistic, and unsinkable you know. Not only that, I am in Denver - where she came from, heh heh.

The only problem is the sites will stop bringing in new folks if they are treated like classified adds, which Yahoo also has!
Collectors will competively bid!
Wanna have & Gotta have!
I have many folks with me book marked and have brought many to Yahoo, but unfortunately most of them end up back at E-greed!
The price of supply can exceed the demand for vintage collectibles and antiques!
Unless of course you sell Beanie Babies and have a few million more made?
Made to be collectible is not my game! I will stick with VINTAGE matchbox and cookie jars!
Ther are big bucks in the later, but I have never been that greedy!
I like making money, but like to have fun doing it!
Hey your suposed to be having cocktails!
Gripes will hold!
