DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE LISTING IMAGES URL AND THE INITIAL REMOTE LOCATIONS ARE FOR MY ACCOUNT? ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD MEDIA FILES TO AN AUCTION?

Hello,
We only support image uploads. If you have media files you want to upload you will need to host them elsewhere, then put the HTML for them in your listings.
To obtain the code which contains your image URL(s), follow these steps:
1. Click the Image Hosting tab.
2. Check the box next to the image(s) that you wish to select.
3. On the bottom of the page, click the "Attach" button.
4. Choose "Other Auction Site (generate HTML)", select New Auction, and click "Continue"
5. On the next page, copy and paste the entire block of HTML (which includes your image URL) into the description box of the auction listing form.
If you wish to use only the image URL, it/they will be embedded in the HTML code generated by our system. If you do not have the "click to enlarge" feature enabled, the image url will look like this:
If you have the "click to enlarge" feature enabled, you will need to alter the ".mids" URL to create the correct image URL. To do this, just remove the /.mids portion of the URL. Here is an example:
The "after" URL can be used in any auction and can be altered to point to any image in your list simply by changing the image filename portion - just be sure that the filename *exactly* matches the filename on our site (case-sensitive.)
