Item Description problem.

Oh my gosh.....sorry for the typos, I'm typing in the dark, LOL!

You mean images that aren't showing up? Where are they hosted?

Can you post the listing #?

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your reply.

I created the page in my publisher and took the images from my computer, then I used ebay's revise your item to copy the page (saved as html) to the already active listing. It looks fine to me but others apparently can't see it. Here is the item:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&it...TRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

You can see it fine because the image URLs are relative to your local computer. Other people won't have those images saved on their computers though so they can't see it. In order for it to display you'll have to upload the images to the internet (to Auctiva or another photo host) and change the URLs to point there instead of your computer.

Hope that helps,
Auctiva David

Thanks David. I understand but I need further help if you don't mind. I can't figure out how to get my publisher document published to the web so that I can upload it. Is it even possible? I'm about ready to rip my hair out. Please help. Thanks.

Actually, maybe you've gotten it fixed but I just went to the listing and all images are showing up for me.

Hi Rick,

There are some good pics on there but what I'm trying to do is a display page to add. I have it saved in my publisher but can't get it published to the web so that I can put it into my listing. Sorry if I'm being a pain.

Do you mean a document made in Microsoft Publisher?

Does anybody know if this is possible?

Pics show up fine for me too...loaded quick and everything!

Everything looks beautiful to me.

Good Luck,
Donna

This is what I don't know how to do. Anybody else? I assume we're talking about importing a MS Publisher file somehow?

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry, I didn't mean to get everyone's knickers in a bunch. Yes, that's what I was trying to do. I created a display page and couldn't publish it to the web. The other images were fine (the ones that you all see).

I apologize. I guess it's not really an Auctiva issue, I just needed some help. So, after pulling my hair out and managing to throw something together in Photoshop, I've now saved this one and uploaded it to Auctiva. Could someone take a look and tell me if it shows now please/ It's the one with the couch and it appears at the end of the listing and in the gallery. I haven't figured out yet how to move it up in the queue as the first image viewed on the listing.

Thanks again. Have a great night!

i see image with couch in listing just fine.

to move it up in listing on an active listing, will have to edit on ebay and then, of course, you'll be dealing with editing html.

prolly easiest would be to do a new listing, but instead of launching, save it. then view the saved listing, right click it and view source, copy the source to clipboard, and then go into ebay and replace html in description box with what you just copied to clipboard.

either that, or just dont worry about it

Thank you so much!

I think I will just leave it for the next listing but I will keep note of your instructions, I appreciate it.

Hey, my knickers weren't bunched! I quoted that bit again because the two posts before that seemed to miss the bit about Publisher and that you were still trying to get something done.

Glad you got it uploaded. Even if it's not exactly where you want it at least it's there as the header so at least some people will click on that for the larger view before they scroll down looking for it..

Hehe, thanks Rick.....and I'm glad that your underwear is under control. LOL!

Suthrnjewl<---knickers doing just fine

HA!
Glad you have a great sense of humor Rupa!

My best,
Donna
