How to I insert original size images into my custom template? I don't want a link, I just want the image to appear just as I uploaded it, at full size.
Thanks much!

Hello dz302 -
The tags that were previously available for custom templates to select the original size image in listings have been deprecated, so there is no tag you can add to the template that will call the original size image. However, if you wish the images to show in the description area of your listings you can add them to the listings using the description editor on the lister page of your account. There is a tool in the editor for "Insert an Auctiva Hosted Image" - it is in the lower toolbar for the editor, just beneath the Bold button and this will insert an image in your description at the originally uploaded size wherever the cursor is in the editor field.
If you run into any difficulty, please let us know what you run into in a support case and we'll be happy to assist you further.

Do I still need to add images then below in the "Auctiva Image Selection"? Why has this become so confusing?
Hello again,
You will still need to at least add an image in the Header and Gallery area of the Auctiva Image Selection section of the lister page, as eBay does require a Header image. You can do this by either adding the same image in those spaces or selecting an image in the #1 location and those fields will populate with that image.

So when I make a custom template from scratch and add Image 1, Image 2, etc from the left "Custom Template Tags" section, these do not include a hyperlink to the original size image?? All I see when I preview my listing is the small image and no "click to enlarge" feature.
