Hi there yes you can add animated GIFs fairly simply. This link is my first attempt to do it for a Christmas themed listing http://cgi.ebay.com/Miniature-International-Express-Tra...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Simply upload your gif files to Auctiva then go to the WYSIWYG editor where you are formatting your auction and on the lower right hand side beside the the tab that says user links you will see a small yellowish tab click that and it will insert the photo wherever you have your index set in the WYSIWYG editor.

Hi Steve thanks for your reply, i cold not find anything that told me it was a wysiwyg editor only a full size editor, but I think that the American auctiva is different to the UK version, anyway I put it on full size editor and it allowed me to do what I needed to and thank you so much for the help. Lennie.

hey Taz think am getting the hang of it,let me know what you think http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&it...ageName=STRK:MESE:IT
Hi Lennie not bad . I would use a bit more of a spacing between them and place them in the body of the auction as a break point also. For example in mine I placed 4 of the same .gif side by side at the top and then further down Santa and his sleigh is inserted twice.
What I would recommend for you is one line directly below the description tag using both of your puppies in a staggered format.
Puppy1, Puppy 2, Puppy1, Puppy 2
To end up with something similar to my 4 winking Santas
Then place your wreath at the end of the item description before your "Any questions please Contact Me and I will get back to you as soon as possible." The whole thing is the visual impact and what you have right now draws the eye away from your item description rather than towards it at least in my opinion. Also use Left right and center justification I looked at your "Pink grecian style top" and you used all left justification and draw the eye more to your GIF than to your description and product. The "Black Clutch bag" I see you used your justification tabs a bit in. Just remeber to preview your auctions and look at them as a buyer rather than a seller and see if it would appeal to you and what you feel could be done to make it more appealing to you
Keep working with it and you will see what you can do
