Remove photo from listing?

Hi there.

I'm new to this to, and am still acclimating myself with everything. So far I've only posted some listings: I haven't even begun to organize my 'store' and storefront, nor work with all the other fantastic tools/personalization options on the basic FREE model that's offered here. (Still can't go over that they're giving this much for FREE: no charged fees).

Anyway, that said, as I've been sifting through some pages and getting familiar with how to set up and personalize a 'store' I just happened to notice something that I think pertains to what you're asking about here, (RE: how to edit a listing on the auctiva host site AFTER you've already posted it to ebay.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for or not, but I thought if it just happens to be I might pass along ....

On the Auctiva home screen hit the 'store' tab up near the upper right hand side of screen. From there hit tab for 'edit store items'. Your screen then should populate with a listing of all your currently running listings that you've posted through auctiva. BUT ...

From there I'm not clear if you can edit (edit the photos on your listing) directly through auctiva -- or -- if you have to link to revise via ebay. And the latter is the case, then ebay will probably assert FEES of some kind.

Anyway there you for whatever it's worth. -- Best, Deana


PS: If this isn't what you were looking for and you were able to find the info. then please let me, as I'm quite sure it will be useful for me to know this information for future use.

Thanks for the reply. Long story short, that's not it. Basically, you're sent to the ebay listing, where I've already edited the picture out so that it does not display.

The problem is when you click on the pictures for the supersize view, you're taken off ebay to Auctiva's image hosting site. There, the picture still exists and displays.

I'm probably going to have to open a service ticket to get an answer to this one. Whatever I discover, I'll post here.

I put an incorrect picture on one of my listings. While I can edit the listing in ebay to remove the one photo, when you click on the supersize option, the photo is still there. Is there any way to remove a photo in an active listing from the Auctiva host?

Thanks!

I followed up to step 9 and there it broke down. There is no "Enter your own HTML" tab. I can directly edit text in the window, but I cannot wholesale select and replace with HTML, won't let me do it, won't work.

It appears ebay has changed the methods available for revising a listing.

Ah, actually, the issue is I'm down to less than 12 hours until auction closing so I can't make any changes anyway. Normally, the tab you referred to would appear.

Thanks for the info. At least I have it now for future reference. I'm going to do likewise and paste this into an "Auctiva Reference" document for the file.
