I recently joined up with Citubank's new Paypal type service and put the logo/link they provided in my ads on Bidville underneath the Yahoo Pay direct logo/link.
It worked fine.
Then I used some more of my funny money to create an ad on YaWho using the same code. Guess what? YaWho changed the C2it code so that nothing appears concerning C2it.
Not that I'm unhappy with Pay Direct (yet). I guess that's typically YaWho....they act any way they please and never say a word to anybody (except to the press about how they LOVE raking in all those listing fees, which are a small fraction of what FV fees would have generated).

I copied this HTML from your ad

The PD has an image source line for their gif but there is no image source line for a c2it gif.
So I entered c2it in Yahoo search todays new ads and see it working in some but not others. Comparing them showed the working ones are ONLY the ads that were listed off Yahoo through AW. I don't understand why Yahoo would block them but apparently they are.
Side note: Sorry to tell you this but in all the BV ads I clicked your photos were missing with only the red X error boxes showing.

Right. Yahoo's parcer changed it when I submitted the ad.

When Bidville agreed to use my Yahoo bulk loader .csv files to load my items, they said they would not host the pix using their methods. So in my haste to find a free web space, I picked one that didn't allow pix parking...so they deleted me just after Bidville posted the auctions using the link I gave them. Thus I got no pix. I've been waiting for the bulk loader to be released and hopefully Bidville will kill all my auctions and I can then load them correctly with them hosting the pix.
I do have several hundred ads with pix, but sales are so slow, I'm using my time more wisely than reloading 2000 ads by hand.
