Hi everyone,
I just joined this website and realize i have alot to explore but in the meantime i am desperate to transfer my photo hosting to this site ASAP as my current photo host has been off and on the past few days and i want out!

The problem is i have several auctions running and would like to know if there is any way i can just transfer my images onto my current running auctions?

I am trying to say that the images i have on them now are not showing half the time and instead of ending them all if i could just upload all my images here and somehow transfer them to my current running auctions?

Hope i am making sense!

Please anyone?

Thank you
Cathy

Dear Cathy,

Welcome to Auctiva! It is certainly possible to revise your listings that are currently running to use Auctiva's image hosting, but it will entail a fairly cumbersome process because the images you are using would need to be uploaded into Auctiva and then the image URL's that are referenced in your active listings would need to be edited to point to the locations of those images on the Auctiva site.

One way to accomplish this would to be upload your images into Auctiva and then replace the old image references in the description HTML of your listings with the URL's of the copies of those images that are hosted within your Auctiva account. Once you have uploaded your images into Auctiva, you would be able to find the URL's of each by clicking the "Manage Images" link under the "Images" tab within your account.

If you would like to do this without having to sift through too much HTML code, you could also accomplish the same thing by revising each listing via the following process (if you do it this way, you will have the opportunity to add Auctiva templates to your listings at the same time too):

1) Recreate the listing in Auctiva and click "Save". Since you will only be revising the item description, it is only necessary to fill out the “Item Details” section of the lister page.
2) Once you have finished, click the "Save" button.
3) Return to your Saved Listings page and click the <HTML> icon next to the listing.
4) Highlight and copy the HTML that appears in the pop-up window.
5) Scroll down about 1/3 the page to the “Description” section and click the "HTML" tab on the editor.
6) Delete the html that is already there, paste the copied html in its place, and save your changes.
