ANY help would be great n thanks in advance !!

500 x 395 pixels is a decent size and in/of itself won't cause you any problem using Auctiva.

You should check the point where you are saving your photos before you upload them to Auctiva. If it allows you set resolution when you save them out before uploading to Auctiva, be sure that you set resolution to at at least 72 ppi (which is max web browsers can display). In Picasa, you can also control image quality when you edit pictures...this link gives the lowdown on how to do it.
