Okay, we know you all hate it when we release a new version right before the weekend... However, we also know a lot of you post over the weekend and we felt it best to fix what we could right now.
This release fixes the missing Title Bar Image and the missing Gallery Image error in Store items.
We still don't have a fix for the "duplicate attribute id" bug. The error occurs when you use the "Other" option in any of the Attributes. If you don't use "Other", your auctions will post fine.
We realize this will be a huge inconvenience for some of you, but a fix just won't be available by this weekend.
We apologize for that and we hope the fixes we were able to provide will be helpful to most of you.

I'm running the new version and for manually loaded auctions, it seems to be OK.
Categories are still not working and I have yet to see the "watch " feature on the counters page work- despite having a friend "watch" a few of my things.
Finally, the small picture at the top of the listing page isnt coming up either.
Thought I'd pass along my experience thus far, appreciate any eta's on these features/

That was SO COOL! And they made you take it off ... WHY????
damn
Hmmmn... I wonder if it was the whole German privacy laws issue? You know, how you can't see what someone from Germany is bidding on because it's against Germany laws for privacy.... Even though you'd never know who was actually watching your items. If it was a lame reason, I'd say that qualifies....

Gee, that makes me feel secure. I'm sorry we asked....
OK, I missed that while it was working- I came in after you shut it down.
Are title bar images loading again? My postings last night didn't show them and I believe I was/am using the latest issue- but the auctions were prepped ahead of time - does that make a difference?
I had actually FORGOTTEN that we were supposed to be getting it until about two weeks after it started.
I suddenly noticed that it had gone away.
I SORT of liked it; then again, sometimes that picture can be misleading. I try to use my gallery pix as the "puller-inner" but it WAS nice to get something "FREE" from eBay. But of course then they raised the fees, so they aren't giving us anything for nothing.
I'm still ticked about that number of people watching your item on the Counter page. I really thought that was a big help; helped me know whether to change categories or raise the price or extend the auction, etc.
Ok, I guess I started after the watch feature because I never saw it. What I would like to bring up with this new version is:
1) When on occasion I chose to use eBay's free picture hosting (when I only had one pic for a particular auction), I had no problem. I would manually post and then add it before hitting submit. Now, you don't see any of that. How am I to do that now? Go to each listing once it is posted and add it? That would be most inconvenient.
2) When creating many listings in one sitting, I sometimes forgot to change something like the shipping fee, gallery pic from pic 1 to pic 2 or the store category. It helped me when I could review it before manually posting in the scenario listed above. You no longer see that now either. It is great that it lists faster by sidetracking the loading, but I feel that it will now lead to more errors.
Can this be taken into consideration for the next version please? It would be helpful in making it more user friendly.
