Why are eBay gallery an "Option" now that EBay mobile is so popular???

If I understand you correctly, you can now click within Auctiva listing & select enable ebay photos, or something like that.

I use to use that only for items that had free photos.

I missed the memo & found out recently reading other messages that with the 12 free eBay photos it is now free to do that with all your listings.

You pay extra only if you select the enlarged gallery photo for a category that doesn't give that as a free option.

It's a pain to remember to do it. During free listing offerings on eBay I've had to relist more than 1 item I forgot to add extra photos to!

Yeah it's easy to miss the tiny little box to check
It's under your pictures (Image Selection). Look for Optional Ebay Gallery Images. I agree, it would be nice to have it automatically enabled.

Yes, I use that check box, all the time.
A word of caution, however....

After creating a listing, and posting it to ebay, I then click auctiva's link that reads "create another similar ad".

In doing so, a new form opens up, with everything just like the previous ad, including the "Optional ebay gallery images" box is checked...however, the photo's that are about to be posted to ebay's gallery are the same photo's as my previous ad, even tho I select new auctiva images with this new ad. You always need to uncheck, and then re-check that box, in order for auctiva to submit your new ad's, new photo's.

Hope that makes sense. Just be sure and look closely at what photo's auctiva is about to hand to ebay's gallery. Make sure they are the same images that you are using in the current ad you are creating, and not from the previous ad.

Oh I have had that happen too..I never even looked..had one pic that didn't belong and it cost me a return

Thanks, I've looked everywhere except the obvious for this. All the boards say that you must have all your pictures in that gallery upper left of the listing and I just couldn't figure it out. This is for mobile users. I have a question. Do you just enable the Ebay gallery images, or do you do that and also the normal selection of pictures for your Auctiva listing. Do you do both or is that overkill?
