Several months ago there was a great thread describing how to create a personalized gallery of current items for sale. Does anyone have that bookmarked and, if so, can you please post it here?
Many Thanks.,

I've got a good one, It works WONDERS for me. First, put all of your auctions on the Gallery option (its an extra quarter, but well worth it.)When you post your auctions, put a codeword on the description (a word you will never find on another auction when you run a search) Then ,before you post the auctions, run a search on that codeword, click the "gallery only" option, then copy the resulting URL (obviously, nothing's going to show up... YET) and paste it onto your auction description as a link, and put something like this: "If you want to see a Gallery of all my items, click HERE" And presto! Instant personal gallery page! Works wonders and the traffic in my auctions has doubled since I started using it, and suddently single customers started getting into multiple auctions!!
It will look like this with the proper coding:
<p><A HREF=http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&pb=&ebaytag1=ebayreg&ht=2&st=1&query=XXX&ebaytag1code=0 target=new>My Personal Picture Gallery</A><p>
Replace the X's with your code word or letters.
One piece of my own advice to you is try to put your code word or letters(3 is better) in your title. This way when your auctions get indexed they will show up right away in your gallery.
Do a search for a couple of days of your code word or letters to be sure that they don't show up alot of other auctions.
We've gone to great lengths to make sure Auctiva Showcase works for everyone. If you will give me the operating system and web browser versions I will personally look into it, but Showcase has been running over a year now and I dont know of any compatibility issues.
Thanks,
Auctiva

Packer has helped me out with some great advice. The gallery items work nicely and it is one way for the perpective buyer to catch all your items. Sometimes, you will find another seller uses the same three letters. That may be ok as long as they are not selling things that you don't care for.
