In one of the topic searches within the community I found both postings I had made previously about this problem - 'striped images', or something similar. I also have observed that many others have not always recieved assistance when requested - but don't misunderstand, I want to use Auctiva very much. I think it's a wonderful service especially for those of us who don't sell high price items. My camera is a Camedia 4.2 - I fine tune my images alot and resize. Perhaps this has something to do with it. They upload fine to Ebay. I will make another request for assistance. Thanks for your response. LT9
