this is an item in my ebay store. I realize it's only been viewed 5 times this month, but isn't that enough to keep the image on your server? Suddenly the image is deleted (I don't know when it happened, this is a secondary account that I don't watch very closely)

There's 4 other store listings that also don't have images. Why do I have to re-upload them????

Well, it's best for you to get the right source code for the image. If you don't do this right the images will still delete. Also at the bottom I show you how to get your images back from the trash can.
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.)
Also, you don't have to reupload. Some items are in your recycle bin.
Best Regards,
