I love Auctiva and rarely complain but the past weeks outages of pics have really created some major problems for me. I am selling items for other people and with no pics the last few hours of bidding it has cost some serious money and probably business.
I was looking on previous posts as to how to host pictures elsewhere while still using Auctiva to list and load onto ebay. Here is an answer I found to using Photobucket from last October:
"You can enter photo URL's now by clicking the box in the HTML editor below the "Font" selector box in the HTML editor. It's a picture of a mountion with a moon/sun over it.
Then in the "Picture source" text box type in a full URL such as: http://www.auctiva.com/ads/auctionsniper/sniperauctioneer1.gif
It then inserts that picture directly into the part of the description where you are editing.
You then wont use any of the image boxes below.
It's not a great solution because you wont get a picture icon or eBay header image though, but it will work."
Is this answer still valid or has anyone else found another method to host elsewhere? I am sure the solution is probably not painless but I really need a more reliable way to host pics right now without switching services. Even if I have to take all of my pics over again, I will do it.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help! I am sure I am not alone on this.
