I remember seeing a link in Auctiva where I could host my own images and not have to use their space, but now I can't find it for the life of me. Does anyone know about this?
Thanks.

Hi womandi,
If you would like to use images you are hosting elsewhere when creating your listings through Auctiva, you will first need to scroll down past the "Select an Image" boxes on the listing creation page and click the small "Switch to Externally Hosted Images" link. Once you do this, when you click any of the "Select an Image" boxes, you will see the option to add your images by entering the URL's of your externally hosted images.
If you would like the externally hosted image option on the lister page to be selected by default, please click the "Account Settings" link under the "My Account" tab within your account. Then, select "External" from the drop-down menu labeled "Default Image Hosting" and click the "Update Account Preferences" button below.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our customer support team using the web form on the following page: http://www.auctiva.com/help/requesthelp.aspx

Thank you Mike. Just one more quick question. Can I host image from my own hard drive? (using the browse function?)
Hi womandi,
You're welcome.
Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to use images on your hard drive with the externally hosted image feature because your image files need to be hosted on the web somewhere for people who view your auctions to be able to see them. If you do a search for "image hosting" on Google or Yahoo, you should find a whole bunch of different options to consider.
