I realize that I can't use AW to launch an item in my eBay store, but can I copy the templates? How do I incorporate my image in the listing or at least attach the AW hosted image to the store item? Thanks for any help you can give me! I figured out to at least post the thumbnail image at the bottom of the store listing...how do I add "click to enlarge?"..anyway to add it to the description?

You would only be able to use images in your eBay store. Do you need the URL to your images? If so let me know so I can tell you how to get it. To add click to enlarge you have to first have that feature enabled in Global Preferences. Then when you go to get the URL for your images, the HTML that contains click to enlarge will be a part of it. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with adding images to eBay stores.

Hi Sonya.yes I'd like to learn how to get the URL for my images..also would like to know where the "global Preferences" are that i have to indicate I'd like enlarged versions. Thanks for your help!Mary Ann
Global Preferences is located in your My Account tab. You can enable the image resizing there -- it is in the Auction Listing Options section. Make sure you save after you select that option.
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.)

Hello Sonya
I too wanted to use my AW images in a Ebay store but I was told I would be charged for this? I think it was 10 cents per image?
You didn't mention that here. Was I misinformed.
Thanks
If you are on the standard plan and you are using images in ebay stores, then you will be charged 10 cents per image. However if you are on a premium plan, you won't be charged for that as those plans come with free unlimited image hosting.
