Re: Images Wishlist new [re: Anonymous]  

thats all fine and good. i think we all have workarounds for inserting images into auctions and formatting them before or after the fact...

the point is, it seems a fairly simple thing to want to have the functionality to be able to add images anywhere in an auction description and not have to add formatting afterwards or have to insert HTML in the description just to get auction images posted in a format other than that allowed by the existing image handler.

ideally we should just be able to insert an image where we want in the description area, but even if there was a TAG we could insert, say <Image 1> <Image 2> etc. so that AW would grab the image we specify from the image area and put it there would be better than what we have now.

Hi all, I know this is not what you are wishing for, but it is a workaround, and it's quite easy to do.

Here's a screenshot of a template with three images that have description segments between them (the arrangement can be configured in different ways):

You open the HTML Template Manager and select one you want to use; duplicate it; click to Edit it; then just add Formatted Text and Image components (check the box for Break After each image); then save it with a new name related to the item being auctioned.

Yes, it's a bit of a pain compared to just adding images directly to the Description box in the Lots window, but it's not that difficult. When the Lot is sold, you just delete that template or change its images and edit the wording in the Text components, rename it, and use it for a new auction.

P.S. I must confess I haven't even used this concept yet. I just tried it out tonight and am anxious to submit an auction this way.

Re: Images Wishlist new [re: tictictic_OnEbay]  

As soon as I shut off my computer to go to bed last night, it dawned on me that images inserted in a template may not get uploaded to our image servers the same way they do when inserted the usual way (on the Lots page). Does anyone know?

Images Wishlist new [re: magicka]  

I wish there weren't a 2 Gig capacity on the image database. We have to delete pictures from Auction Wizard everyday because we run out of space and can't add any more pictures. Since I work for a consignment company and we have 5 computers networked together for listing auctions simutaneouly, we need a lot more space than an average ebayer. We love auction wizard and it's potential to be a great software for this industry, but it's lacking many business minded features. Updated versions and added program features are few and far between, making it very frustrating as our business grows more everyday...

Thanks for listening!

Re: Images Wishlist new [re: tictictic_OnEbay]  

no they won't be uploaded. the problem is a workaround is fine if you only add one or two auctions a day. but if you have to write a template for every auction posted for more than a few per day, it quickly becomes counter productive.

what we really need is the ability to add images into the description where we want them without coding them in individually.

Yes. I to wish the 2 Gig limit was expanded, I run at times 800-1000 items on ebay in auctions and my store and I use the picutres to really showcase my items so I am also continually deleting pics.
