How do I add a gallery image onto an existing eBay auction?
I accidentally listed my auction with a gallery image that I had already deleted. Now I need to update it. I can't figure out the correct URL that eBay needs with the new picture in it (it's my Weed Eater Sign a).
Thanks!

Thank you for choosing to be part of eBay's Gallery! Unfortunately, your item

has not yet been added to the gallery.
The problem is:
The Web server where we looked for your image says that it can't find the image:
(***I erased this part let me know if you need it from me***)
Check your image URL to make sure that it is correct.

And another thing......I have spent much time trying to work on fixing this, but my auction was only 3 days! I only have one day left. I had tried cutting and pasting the URL at the top of the webpage, but that didn't work. Everytime I try something new it takes a little while for eBay to get back to me, of course.
Meanwhile, my short auction is ticking away without a picture....
Do you think I can get a refund on the $.25 gallery listing because there was not an easy way for me to quickly get a new image loaded to my gallery picture? Or is this an eBay refund?
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this,
Pam
This is the URL eBay provides for correcting your gallery image. The details below will explain how to get the correct URL to use in that form :
To obtain the code which contains your image URL(s), follow these steps:
1. Click the Image Hosting tab.
2. Check the box next to the image(s) that you wish to select.
3. On the bottom of the page, click the "Attach" button.
4. Choose "Other Auction Site (generate HTML)", select New Auction, and click "Continue"
5. On the next page, copy and paste the entire block of HTML (which includes your image URL) into the description box of the auction listing form.
If you wish to use only the image URL, it/they will be embedded in the HTML code generated by our system. If you do not have the "click to enlarge" feature enabled, the image url will look like this:
If you have the "click to enlarge" feature enabled, you will need to alter the ".mids" URL to create the correct image URL. To do this, just remove the /.mids portion of the URL. Here is an example:
The "after" URL can be used in any auction and can be altered to point to any image in your list simply by changing the image filename portion - just be sure that the filename *exactly* matches the filename on our site (case-sensitive.)
