i think there was an area that generated an html code you could paste into the revision box on ebay but i forget where it is
If you go to your image hosting page, click over on the left to then visit the old image hosting page.
It is from there that you can submit images to your eBay auctions via the AW system without going to eBay directly to paste the HTML code into your description box.

Christopher... I've followed your instructions to add a picture to an exisiting eBay auction, but the picture still has not appeared... how long does it take to update and attach the picture from AW?
Unless you saw an error message, it happens right away. Click to refresh the page when you go view your listing, if it isn't there go through the process once more.

Christopher... thanks for the quick reply... I've hit refresh and rechecked the eBay site (Item # 1270003233) but still no image... I've been away from AW for a while and I suspect I've missed some procedural changes over the past year... could you look at the auction and see if I'm missing something?... thanks for your help
I checked your auction and it appears you have added your picture, twice now.
Keep in mind that when you add addtional information, eBay places that information below what you originally submitted.
You could however go to image hosting (and do not click to go to the old page on the left) - select the images you want to attach, and click attach at the bottom of the page. That will give you the HTML code to take to the revise auction page on eBay directly and place that someplace in your item description, or wherever you wanted if there were no bids yet.
I posted the old method here originally only because someone was asking how to do it via AuctionWatch, you can still just get the HTML code and place that in the ad manually if you want it to appear someplace other than the bottom of the listing.

Christopher... thanks again for your quick response... I see where the location code is showing in the item description... I was surprised to see that it didn't plug it into the image slot above... I've also got to work out some other bugs...
