Hi Danhart99,

There is an error in the HTML code that you pasted. There is a space between the " and > that ends the image URL line. You can either end the auction and correct the HTML, or you can add the image below the auction using these instructions:

1. From Auction Manager, click on the "Manage Images" link. Check the box of the image(s) you wish to add under the select column. Click the "Attach Image" button on the bottom of the page, verify your image, and click "Continue". You will then come to a page that contains a box or block of HTML. Copy and paste the entire box of HTML into the description box of the auction revision form.

Hi Danhart99,

This is the code from your auction that I retrieved by making a copy and placing it in your pending section.

<img src="http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/danhart99/aaalogo.gif.gif" ></center><br>'>

There is also an invalid character "'" at the end that might also be causing some problems.

When I do a right click on the red x in your auction this is the URL that I get for the image:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/<p><center><img%20src="http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver

This obviously is incorrect. You should look over your HTML and make the necessary corrections.

The code you detected is not the code I insert. Where is this going wrong? I insert this code:
<img src="http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/danhart99/aaalogo.gif.gif"ALT="Image Hosting by auctionwatch.com"></center><br> And you detect it as something totally different, Where is the problem originating? Dan

Hi Danhart99,

If you click on the red x in the auction you will recieve the location that eBay searches for the image. Somewhere in your HTML there is an error that is prohibiting the correct URL from showing up, because the URL it is looking at is invalid.

I suggest making a copy of the auction, which will place it in the pending section. Here you will be able to scan and edit the HTML and find out where the error is.

Hi Danhart99,

I found the HTML problem.

Change this:

<img align=top hspace=5 src='<p><center><img src="http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/danhart99/aaalogo.gif.gif" ></center><br>'>

To this:

<img align=top hspace=5 src="http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/danhart99/aaalogo.gif.gif" ></center><br>

The difference is at the first one has the src tag twice, once after hspace=5, and again in the <img src line. This won't work. Also remember to remove the extra > at the end.

ALRIGHT !! iT IS WORKING NOW! But it has caused one other problem. After I insert an html code all the typed in words are no longer centered. They are all slammed over to the left margin. I originally have them "centered" on the page. I looked at the html code and there is the </center> part of the code for the text, but it is still coming off the left margin. please see auction number http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1663177504
to see what I mean. Look at the suit measurements (its ok there), but look at the text below the priority truck. What do I need to add to fix it? Thanks for all your help! Dan

Hi Dan,

I would just add another <center> tag right above that part, and close it out with a </center> tag. I hope this helps!
