Can someone tell me how to add a great icon I found to my Global Preferences page? Tried it and all it did was add the text??????
TIA!

I hate to sound like a computer dummy,
I found the flag, I can cut and paste.
But where to I paste it in my auction so it shows up?

None of the above worked for me either until I spent two days playing around with the process. I know how you feel, for almost two years I didn't sell because no one ever answered the question where to place it or where to find the address, so I couldn't add photos at all until AW. This is how I finally got the flag image to show after the description.
First of all the image you want to insert must be uploaded from your computer as part of your photos under "Manage Images." Then find the image in the AM list, right click on it and click on Properties. Left click and highlight the whole Address(URL) and right click copy it. I've never been able to find the correct address any other way.
Either before or after, open two pages so you can go between them. First click on Create Auction in Auction Manager. Choose eBay etc. and go to the bottom of the listing form to Preview. Leave that one open.
Open another page and again click on Create Auction in Auction Manager and scrolling down click on Add/Manager Accounts. Scroll down again to the window Default Listing Text. Paste the address either at the top of text or scroll through to find where you would like it to appear.
It is easiest for me to then click Save Preferences and click Back. Then open the other page and click Preview so you can see how it looks. If it is in wrong place or wrong size you can then switch over to the page with the Default window and highlight and cut and paste the address to a different location.
If wrong size you must resize the original image on your computer and upload the second image with a different number at the end so you know which is which. (I open a third page to Manage Images to speed up the process) Then all you have to do is go into the Default window and change only the number within the address you pasted. You can go back and forth between the pages until it looks the way you wish. Then save your preferences on the Default window page and close the listing page out (preview one) on upper right x so you don't accidentally launch something. I don't know of any other way to check what you have, before actually launching an auction.
