Can't put price in???
Hey all - FInally starting to really move my auctions over here in hopes of loosing my other host for good, but I seem to be having a glitch. I have several very similar auctions, so I created one and am using it as a template for the others - all well and good, but for some reason it has the price box grayed out so I can't put it in there, and I know an auction won't launch without a price - nor would I want it to! The Buy it Now box is working, but not the regular field. Any suggestions?

Can I use my Store to host .pdf files?
Ok, Let's see if I can ask this in a clear way. I want to offer free guides from my eBay "About Me" Page to generate traffic and hopefully income through affiliate links in those guides. I need a server, or host to have this guide available for people to download from. Eventually I would want to sell other types of information or eBooks, but for right now just want to take baby steps. Does Auctiva have any services for what I want? I appreciate any help. Sometimes setting this stuff up gets...

Instead of uploading to Gallery...
Hi. I host my own images and upload them to my own server. I include them as part of the description. I would like to know if there is a way to just paste the URL of my pic for the gallery. All I see is the upload option, so I essentially have to upload that picture twice, as it is already on my own server - I don't need to upload it again to Auctiva's server... Do I? Thanks! www.rarebookspaper.com

Image Host Space?
(cross posted on "Getting Started") Hi! I'm new here and still trying to find my way around. I'm not new to eBay or chat boards, but I'm a little rusty. After a 3 yr. sabbatical, I've decided to return to the wonderful world of eBay. Even though a lot has changed in that time, I figure it's like riding a bicycle. So far, I'm very impressed with most everything about Auctiva, but I can't seem to find the answer to one of my questions. I'm sure it's been asked a hundred times, but ... how much...

Image hosting & the scolling gallery questions
Hi like many I find the image hosting fees excessive so will no longer be using Auctiva to host my images. But how will that effect the scrolling gallery will it still work? Does it take the images straight from the eBay gallery images normally or does it load them up for the Auctiva site? (If you get what I mean) And will I need to change any account settings. Also whilst I am here, My gallery never seems to have more then about 20/25 items in it. Now I am not one of these guys with 10,000...

Image sizing - what's the deal?
Hi, I'm new here and don't understand how the image sizing works if I'm using Auctiva hosting. It sounds as if any pictures will be resized to 400x300 ... is that right? Does that mean if my original photo did not match those proportions, will it be stretched or squeezed or cropped automatically if (when reduced) its new size ratio doesn't match 4:3? I'm not sure if my question is clear but hope that someone understands what I mean. I don't want to spend the time loading pictures and...

Image Uploading Issues
Anyone else having issues with image uploads. Everytime I attempt to upload images, I constantly get failure notices and/or little red x's. Have been using the basic uploader for years without a problem or any changes. Spending more time with my finger up my nose waiting. I filed yet another support case, but we all know the response time for these. Looks like a good day to shop around for another host that supports consignments.

Is Ebay now completely Socialist?
Here is the Auctionbytes article: eBay is introducing a host of changes it hopes will improve the site in time for the holiday shopping season. Most significantly, eBay will change its Buy It Now (BIN) fixed-price format, making it more like eBay Store-inventory, but with exposure in the main eBay.com core search results. It will also make changes to Finding (search), Shipping and Seller Standards. And in a move that was expected by many, it will change to an electronic checkout system,...

I require my store domain to be a1sale.co.uk
On 6 Jan 2009 I added a1sale.co.uk to my domain list in <STORE>, which I host eleswhere. I want this to be the site where my auctiva store is. The <A record> has been changed as requested to point to the number provided. At the moment (about 21 hours after changing the A record), a1sale.co.uk is still inactive. I have three questions: 1. Do I need to alter the nameservers to ones that auctiva provides? If so, where can I find them? 2. Do I need to make it the default domain, in...

I want to transfer images from Auctiva
Stupid me, transferred from my PC to Auctiva, then deleted PC images. I need (at least I'd LIKE to) transfer images from Auctiva to... somewhere else, back to my PC, to a different photo host. Can I do this? I feel like I can't bail out fast enough. I've wasted far more than enough of my time here.

I'm the culprit causing the Image Failures....
Yep, I've finally come to realize, it's me... every time I come back to Auctiva to list & use the photo hosting, within a week, the images servers crash completely. I know it's me. It must be something about my photos that the servers can't handle. Maybe too big, maybe too many megapixels, maybe too colorful...? I don't know...happens every time though, so it MUST be me. Wanted to apologize to all of you. Guess I'll go back to the other host for awhile so things can get back to normal here.

Auctiva customer service???
Over the past few weeks, our email import has not been working. At times we were unable to send out store emails to customers so Auctiva was manually sending them for us while the techs work on a solution. Auctiva has created several new import lists in an attempt to resolve the issue that has been going on before black friday (NOv. 25th) however, when I send emails, I'm getting hate mail from customers who have previously opted out from receiving our emails...here are a few from today...

Auctiva Hosted Images Not Showing Up for Some Users
Hi Community, We are receiving reports from a number of users indicating that they are unable to see the Auctiva hosted images in their auctions when the images actually are present in them. Based on this, it appears there is most likely a network problem that is preventing users with certain ISPs and/or geographical locations from connecting to our image host. If you are experiencing this problem, please run a trace route to img.auctiva.com and paste the results into a reply to this thread.

Brand new member with lots of questions...
Fortunately I've found most of the answers myself, except for ... My default domain is set to "Loretta-Jo", is this an actual bonafide REAL domain? What I mean is can I put a simple "About Me" web page in here? Is this where my pictures go? I never liked using my email server to host on eBay since my address shows up in the image URLs. Does Auctiva host email accounts? Also, to let you know, I'm not crazy about the Sellathon feature, but I'll leave it in because Auctiva is just so darn free...

Attn Firefox user
I started using Auctiva a few days ago with the Firefox browser and have discovered, much to my chagrin, that choosing some of the templates means having your written description dissappear. I have eight active auctions with no description. I switched to IE when I first noticed the problem just to use Auctiva but it gave me trouble in choosing images and choosing a template--it just stuck and showed blank. I am now wondering if I am going to have to find yet another auction host.

Auctiva Store Question
Hello, I'm new to the whole Auctiva experience although I did have some success using the picture host feature over the holidays. Now I'm ready to go deeper using templates and such. I was wondering if it's possible to host your auctions at other venues beside ebay like Ioffer, Ubid, and others? And if so, is there any way to do this automatically or is copy/paste the only way? Like many others, I'm tired of ebay's high listing prices that are only getting higher. It would be great to be...

How can I access a template already being used in an active listing, to "sell similar
I am new to Auctiva, not to eBay. We have a professionally designed template that I thought I would try using in Auctiva, since we will now be switching to Auctiva to host our photos instead of eBay Picture Manager. When I copy & past the HTML into the custom template box, I get errors about having too many tags. It would be much easier if I could access an existing listing and "create similar". How can I get an existing listing (which I can see in Auctiva on my account) to the "saved"...

Accessing Images Bug
Hey all, I use the images that I host on Auctiva to advertise elsewhere on the net. I have run into some strange behaviors of some of the images I use. When I try to access the URL of the image, it instead forwards me to the the image stored temporarily on my machine. This happens even when I click on the image IN Auctiva. For example, when I copy the URL of a hosted image and paste it into a new tab, it downloads the image to a temporary folder on my computer and forwards me to that address...

1st Listing Through Auctiva - No Gallery Photo

designate listing as new item?
I've been using Auctiva for a few days now, and now that I'm getting more familiar with it, I'm blown away by how fast I'm able to list things! So nice to have everything in one place--my photos, preferences, templates, etc.! Sure saves time as opposed to switching between 4 different open browser windows--one for ebay, one for photo host service, one for notepad to cut and paste html from, and one for MS word where I write my descriptions. One thing I'd like to see added--just my 2 cents.
