Hi !... Yesterday I was shopping on eBay..and I noticed a dealer's pictures NEVER loaded...I scrolled down to see they were listing with VENDIO ...but I only got little red boxes with X's --NO PHOTOS !...So,.. I checked MY Vendio listings and--to my horror---none of MY photos are now loading either...I figured I'd wait until today to see if the problem got solved...well..I just checked and my ads are STILL not loading any photos ! There is only the OUTLINE of EMPTY boxes...Blank !...I've even let it try to load for over 10 minutes !!!..NO PHOTOS !!!!(I've got DSL..so that isn't the problem!)....I'm LOSING SALES !!!...what is going on ????...Also...I've noticed a disturbing trend of the Vendio Gallery showing a RED THEATER curtain saying "click here to see this item" INSTEAD of the photos of the items..What is going on ???? Emergency !!!...Help !...Thanks !
It sounds like there might be a problem with your ISP connection to our servers. Try clearing your browser cache, and making sure your DSL connection is stable and then try viewing your listings again. If you still cannot view your images, please let us know who your ISP is.
The red curtains means your gallery images haven't finished importing yet. Your items are still viewable if you click on the curtain. I checked your listings and the curtain is not there anymore so if you are still seeing that, please clear your cache.

Okay !... Here is confirmation that the Internet is a Mysterious Thing !... As mentioned above,.. I could not see any VENDIO photos (mine or others)...I tried copying one of the BLANK boxes which showed on my eBay listing and emailed to my Mother --When I pasted it into my email program....it showed just like it did on eBay..as a EMPTY box (just the border of where the picture SHOULD be)...But when My mother got the email...she COULD see the photo !!!..and I asked her to check all of my liStings,.. and she said she COULD see all of my photos....But I still could not !....She suggested I re-boot my computer..so I tried it..and it worked !!! For some strange reason it was like When you get TV reception and all the channels come in EXCEPT for one !...Everything was working fine on my computer..I was able to view all photos sent through eBay picture services ...BUT ONLY THE VENDIO PHOTOS----- Mine and Every other Vendio dealer I checked---WOULD NOT SHOW UP !!!!...the re-booting cleared the problem !!!!...now everything is fine ...Has anyone ever heard of such a thing ?????..If you have a similar problem, try rebooting your computer and see if that works ....S-T-R-A-N-G-E !!!!!

Hi everybody,
Earlier this morning (between approximately 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM pacific) there was a brief network problem that may have caused slow or intermittent access for some users. The issue has been corrected, however, so you should not have any further trouble viewing images or accessing the site.
