Is anyone having problems with their picture hosting right now? Since about an hour ago none of my pics are showing up in my auctions!!

I had 20 megs of pictures deleted with no warning when using geocities for ebay picture hosting. I learned the hard way to read the user agreement.I had to revise picture links in hundreds of auctions manually.

Angelattic,
Welcome to the Geocities ban on storage of your pictures for auctions. When you signed up for a free website you had to agree you would not use their storage for "remote loading." That little phrase "remote loading" means you can't store pics on their site for any other site, especially one for profit.
If you pay for a webpage with them, they're a mite lenient, because that would be your business page.
Check to see if your webpage is still there. I've seen them removed without notice.

Please email me with your better alternative for pic hosting. I too have used Geocities for auction pic hosting, but pulled them all when I noticed these post regarding the TOS.
You can never have too many image hosting options these days.
