Anyone use Angelfire for hosting pictures on E-bay? It works great except I have to go to the "webshell" everyday and view each picture before they appear on my auction. If I don't, the Angelfire logo appears in its place. Does this sound familiar? Is there something I am overlooking to remedy this situation?

As far as I know using Angelfire to host images for auctions on eBay is in violation of Angelfire's TOS. About a year ago Angelfire cracked down and every auction that had images linked to Angelfire came up with the Angelfire logo. I am surprised you can get the images to come up at all.

I have read and reread Angelfires rules and conditions and am unable to find any rule denying use of their webshell for promoting auctions. There is alot to read and alot of legalese, so, if I overlooked it, please inform
Thee is a whole section about how remote loading is not permitted. There is even a specific prohibition about using the space to store images and remote loading for auctions.

smw is correct, using Angelfire to host your auction pics is against their TOS, and has been for a loooooong time.

All you are doing is loading the pictures into the cache on your machine. Everyone looking at your auctions is seeing the same thing you see before you do this.
Alot of the "free" websites block "remote loading".
