I have just signed up for Auctionwatch image hosting and had no problem uploading my first picture. However, I use my own template/design/table for my auctions. Where do I find the URL for my pic to copy and paste into my template please? Thanks.

Hello lowfell,

In order to obtain this, go to image hosting in Sales Manager, select the image, and click to attach it. You will come to a page with a box of HTML - your image URL will be embedded in the HTML.

Thanks,

Diana

Hello Diana, me again![p]OK so far so good, BUT I copied what I thought was the URL for the pic only. It starts;

http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com ............jpg to go in the Gallery box (at eBay), and it did not work on the review page of the listing form. Red x box. Can I use the pic for the gallery? If so, which part do I cut and past for the eBay Gallery box?

Hello,

Which image are you trying to attach? Perhaps I can help you with obtaining the right code to use.

Hello,

Goodness you were fast! Sorry, I had a Real Life meeting to attend!

From the blurb to cut and paste into the description template (which worked just fine!), this is the one image URL that I tried in the gallery box:

http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/viewimage.x/00000000/lowfell/CCakePlate.jpg

and this is the second one which is slightly different:

http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/lowfell/.mids/CCakePlate.jpg

In the review page on eBay, the pic and auctionwatch line is there in the body of the title description, but should I be entering something different in the Gallery box? Or should one or other of these image URL's work? If so which one?



Many thanks!

Edited to add that I always use jpg for my pics!

Hello lowfell,

Try this url:

http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/lowfell/CCakePlate.jpg

I think the problem is the "viewimage.x" portion of the URL you were submitting, which is for the enlarged image page. The URL above is the straight image URL.

Let us know if that does not work for you.

Thanks,

Diana

Hello Diana,

Thank you once again! Murphy's Law, I tried the wrong one! I will try again tomorrow.



(I had forgotten about your smilies here! Cute!)

Edited to add: Ooops, I see that the URL you have provided is indeed different to either of the given ones. (no 'mids' included) Interesting. I'll give it a try. Thanks again.
