I've been scanning pics all day so I can launch some new auctions. I was just about to load the pics onto my web space but my server is down! Oh great!

Worse, no one can see the pics for my existing auctions! I am hoping it will be back up shortly. I sure don't want to have to spend all day tomorrow trying to get pics into my existing auctions. UGGGHHHH!

Has this ever happened to you guys? what do you do to cope? has anyone ever switched to Ebay's picture services mid-auction? It looks like I'll have to use Ebay's picture services for this round of auctions, which SUX.

Sorry for all the griping, & thanks for lending ears!

Yes..it happened when I used ANGELFIRE and HONESTY. Since I've been using AW I haven't had any problems in this area.

well duh, using AW to host the pics never occured to me...do you have to do your whole auction from start to finish through AW or can you just use it to host pics? would it be of any help to me for the auctions that are already running?

I've never used anything here except the universal search & the message boards so please forgive my extremely uninformed questions.

Hi CAgrrl

You can choose to launch your auctions directly through AW or use Image Hosting and attach them to the existing auctions.

Click on the Auction Manager navigation tab at the top of the page, then Image Hosting to upload your images. Follow the prompts to attach them to existing auctions and cut and paste the HTML to add to or revise your current auctions. Obviously, because you are physically adding the HTML yourself, it will work for other sites too .

If you get stuck and need more info, please post your question in the Auction Manager Services Forum, linked below, and a Customer Care Rep will be able to help you tomorrow morning.

Good luck!
