We use the old web interface for automated publishing of our inventory to vendio for launching to ebay. This has worked quite well for us for many months. The new image upload interface however has alot of javascript variables.. we are sitting down to try to learn what they are so that we can have the processing done locally on our system so that we can then spit the final results out to vendio and continue publishing our pictures/inventory. What would make our lives alot easier is if there was a way to access the old image uploader at a seperate URL. Upon looking at the source for the page, we saw a comment that said "Having troubles, try the old image uploader" and gave a link.. but when we pasted that link into a browser, it didn't work. It will take many many hours to learn how your new system works to re-write our publishing ruitines to make our inventory publish to our vendio account. It would save us alot of time/effort/work if you could provide a link to the old image uploader. If we are not able to publish our inventory to vendio (either by learning how the new system works and writing our ruitines to interface with it, or by having access to the old image uploader), we're going to have to pay a $500 fee to publish directly to ebay, and also write a great deal of our own post-auction management functionality. To date we have enjoyed Vendio's pre-auction and post-auction management functionality, and hope to continue to do so.

We've also considered an option of doing our own image hosting, since everything else still seems to be working fine. Instead of using a Vendio template and uploading our images, we could have our system create a midsize version and full size version, and build in our own img tags with the midsize images as the source.. where when the ebay buyer clicks on the image it opens the big version in a new window.. Is there a discounted rate for a vendio account that doesn't use any of the image hosting? We can store/host the images on our own webserver, and build the images into the description ourselves.
