deactivate scrolling images and uploading watermark images

Closed listings will automatically be removed from the scrolling gallery at the next update by Auctiva, can be a few hours though.

Image protection via Auctiva has minimal effect only deters the really lazy copier, frequently after the warning message comes up the menu for saving them pops up anyway.

You can either watermark your images using a free tool off the web or use Auctiva's watermarking tool once they are uploaded.

Note it is visual only and not a digitally encrypted into the image type, they cost a lot of money from another source and only really cost effective for say a pro-photographer selling images.

For existing ad's you can either edit saved ones on Auctiva or if live via ebay revise item.

Note that for live listings changing the header or gallery image is possible in the listing but those copied by Auctiva to the scrolling gallery or Auctiva storefront require a support request to get them changed to match a revised listing.

First of all thank you.
But how do you upload images into the ad that have been watermarked by auctiva and sitting in an imported folder?
Thanks for your time

Hi I gather you mean how do you get the watermarked image stored on Auctiva into a listing live on ebay, in which case proceed as follows.

Accessible the image via the images tab -> manage.

Select the image folder it is in and scroll down to the image you want to copy into your live listing.

Against each image a URL is shown typically starting with "http://img.auctiva.com/" and ending with ".jpg", copy the mst of the URL that is from "img.Auctiva" onwards.

Open another browser window, log into your ebay account and goto active listings and against the listing to be modifed select 'revise' from the drop down menu at the right hand side.

Scroll to images, remove the original then select add and then paste the URL from above after the "http://".

Select insert pictures, make any other changes you want to make if any and follow through to submit to complete the revison.

If it is the header or gallery image the change will not be reflected in the Auctiva scrolling gallery or Auctiva storefront without a support request to do so.

I hope that helps.

how do you upload an already imported picture to an ad after you have watermarked it with auctiva?
