jwpc - image hosting is included with Vendio's "pay as you go", and no limit on images.
and yes, you can import auctions to Vendio.

Someone asked why anyone would need a service for image hosting. For me (and probably others) the answer is ignorance.
I may have webspace available from my ISP provider, but if I do I don't have a clue how to get to it or how to use it. Therefore Vendio's unlimited image hosting works well for me. I've only used it for a few months. But, in that time, I've only had one problem with the pictures not showing up. It wasn't specific to me and it was corrected pretty quickly.

I am currently looking for another auction management software other than Vendio. The simple fact that FVF and NPB is not supported on dutch or fixed priced auctions on Vendio is really a huge problem due to the high volume of Non Paying bidders on eBay. Anyone have any other recommendations? Right now I am looking towards Auctiontamer since they provide NPB and FVF for those auctions and also since there is NO extra fees except for the .05 cents they charge per photo. Also the fact that its ridiculously time consuming to get refunds from Vendio is also a huge minus. Anyone else have any other recommendations?

Check out Works. It supports NPBA and FVC on both dutch and fixed price, has a great incentory tracking, very simple to use, quick lists, less buggy than Vendio and my favorite part are the reports - especially the one that breaks down each sale by total, cost, ebay listing AND Final fee, Works fee (if applicable) shipping charge and cost to show what your actual profit at the end of the day is. I love that report!!

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

AUctionworks is GREAT! They support NPB and FVF for Fixed priced and eBay store items as well as automatically refund your fees when you file for them. AMAZING!!!!!

AuctionWorks has listing tools that dwarf everybody else. Their post sale process has some weaknesses, but it depends on your post sale preferences. The AuctionWorks checkout (called Clickout) is about the most unpopular among buyers, and some of the post sale features are only available if you use Clickout. They will soon be launching some new post-sale emails (up to this point there is no "payment received" email). There are also no buyer information macros for emails. The learning curve is mighty steep, but there's some powerful stuff. If they add my post-sale requirements I'll try them out again.
I chose Vendio primarily for the 9 step post sale process (most have only 5). I've been disappointed in the lack of functionality the site offers for those steps. Search is not available in most views, there is no way to filter or sort many of the steps and the key bar is only available in the main view and can not be sorted. There's an overall inconsistency in the way the site works that's just not user friendly. The post sale tools feel unfinished to me. It may be that features and steps have been added over time, and as a newer user I see the site in its' current form differently from long time users.
