After viewing my images I have stored in the Auction Watch Image Manager, I noticed some of my images were last viewed today. The images I'm referring to are ones that are currently not being used on any of my auctions. Some of these images have not been used for over three months. I also didn't click on the pictures to update the date. Does anybody know what's going on?

This is nearly always due to people searching through the closed listings on eBay, looking for images to 'borrow' or simply to see how much an item has been selling for.
The date could also be reset if you happen to use that item in an inventory listing, as images in inventory are not subject to deletion, just as with the storefront.

kliggin, I've had the same problem. try uploading an image that is not attached to anything (ie auction or storefront item) and see if the last view date changes.

If you are getting hits on unused images, be sure to check your account and see if you are being charged. Someone could be stealing your image for their auction by linking to it. If that's the case, I've got a couple of ideas on how you can have some fun and teach the thief a lesson at the same time.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.
