i want to attach/upload one of the images i have stored here in auction watch's image hosting to my "about me" page at eBay. what am i missing here? i went to the picture and cut and pasted the path to it from the address line in internet explorer. i now have a nice little white box with a red "x" in it for my efforts, hahaha. so...what do i actually need to do? thank you!
Just be sure you have the correct URL for the image, and not a URL that includes the Vendio border page within. If you continue to run into trouble with this, just let us know the filename of the image in question and we will respond with the proper URL to use.
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.)
