We use and like Auction Watch but when I used it on Yahoo Auctions the photo doesn't show at the top, when I am in the top 20.
Yes it shows up fine in my bid but as an example I have 2 Yahoo auctions linked from http://janinasfashions.com at the moment.
Because they were featured and in the top 20 and placed direct -not AuctionWatch they've had over 300 people view them.
Contrast that with when they are not visible but still featured (because of Auction Watch problem and I would average 50 to 100 views.
Has anyone discovered a work around to this Auction Watch bug. Other than not using Auction Watch for items you want to feature on Yahoo.
Thanks

You have to upload a pic to Yahoo specifically to get the thumbnail. Some of us just load right to Yahoo, others us AW or whereever and then go to Yahoo and upload the pic after the auction is listed.

Yahoo has now implemented coding to capture a thumbnail from description! You no longer have to load one pic directly to yahoo for each listing to create a thumbnail. I have used there bulk loading which requires you to use there "Yahoobatch.csv" file. I store my pics on other sites. This allows me to relist hundreds of listings with a push of a couple buttons. In essence, If you store your pics on other sites you can relist quickly. Due to the fact that you are not burdened with reloading pics to Yahoo each time you relist. You are simply uploading a text file which can be done very quickly!

Thanks VeryModern, I will specifically try loading via Auctionwatch with no picture then add the picture after and then feature it. If it works I will consider that a suitable workaround.
