I am an eBay Premium Store subscriber and when listing on eBay I can add all of my pictures for free. I don't see how in Vendio I can use eBay's picture service. Is it possible or do I need to edit the listing manually in eBay after I have listed it through Vendio?
Please be aware that most of our users use Vendio Image Hosting for the images in their eBay listings that are launched through Vendio. Vendio Image Hosting is based on the Image Hosting plan that you choose, which includes up to a total number of megabytes that are stored in your Vendio account at any given time. For example, the 55MB Image Hosting plan includes up to 55MB of images stored in your Vendio account at any given time. If you don't want to use Vendio Image Hosting for your images, then you will need to have an external Image Hosting provider and manually reference the image URLs within the listing description HTML code.

Unfortunately, Vendio hasn't grown much with the changes eBay have made. There used to be much more value in Vendio when eBay charged 15 cents additional for each photo. We could host unlimited photos on Vendio (within our Image Hosting Plan).
I have found myself using Vendio less and less to list auctions because of these advances in eBay. The problem is that eBay continues to increase fees, and I have to look at cutting fees elsewhere... for me, Vendio is becoming more obsolete in the realm of listing on eBay.
Where Vendio does excel is in the quality of image hosting. With Vendio you can inventory in one place for your online store (if you use vendio for this), in addition to ebay and amazon. You can track inventory in one place knowing your current stock of particular items listed in all sites. Finally, and something that is quite important to me, is that in Vendio you can launch listings on eBay at a specific time without being charged extra for it. eBay charges for each listing you specify time for.
I am now using a Mac, so most of these issues are being addressed using GarageSale for Mac which helps me create very nice quality templates and even launch auctions at a specific time without additional fees. The beauty of GarageSale is that it is flat fee software ($35). No additional fees for anything!

Ebay has taken another measure to improvepicture quality. If you submit a high resolution pic, it automatically triggers the zoom feature.
