I know what I name them but what is the first part of the tag? htt://www.??????
I have spent 30 minutes on the knowledge base and on everything else trying to find this VERY BASIC piece of information-
PLEASE HELP and PLEASE put it on your FAQ where it can easily be located-
To obtain the code which contains your image URL(s), follow these steps:
1. Click the Image Hosting button.
2. Check the box next to the image(s) that you wish to select.
3. On the bottom of the page, click the "Attach" button.
4. Choose "Other Auction Site (generate HTML)", select New Auction, and click "Continue"
5. On the next page, copy and paste the entire block of HTML (which includes your image URL) into the description box of the auction listing form.
If you wish to use only the image URL, it/they will be embedded in the HTML code generated by our system. If you do not have the "click to enlarge" feature enabled, the image url will look like this:
If you have the "click to enlarge" feature enabled, you will need to alter the ".mids" URL to create the correct image URL. To do this, just remove the /.mids portion of the URL. Here is an example:
The "after" URL can be used in any auction and can be altered to point to any image in your list simply by changing the image filename portion - just be sure that the filename *exactly* matches the filename on our site (case-sensitive.)

Okay- All I am trying to do is to post the address to a message board to ID some collectibles- They need it in the <img src=http://www. .jpg> format

Thanks Christopher- Please tell me you didn't just cut and paste this information from an FAQ on your knowledge base- If you did please tell me what this question is called so I can speak the same vocabulary- Thanks
Annette
(remove the dots before the IMG of course, I only put them in so you could see the code)
Regards,
Christopher
PS - that wasn't from the FAQ's, although there is something in there that would point you in the right direction, if you go to image hosting and then read the one about posting images to existing auctiopns - it goes through the process of generating the HTML needed, which has the URL built in.

Actually I am posting this to one of the eBay discussion boards- Actually posted it already- and it provided the link but not the Image on the page- I have seen folks provide the link and the actual image- Here is a link to what I did-

Chris- 2 of the images give the Vendio box and Check back later- The first one and the last one- Did I mess up the naming?
There are a couple of things wrong with the link (a simple typo in the image file name, and also some missing additional information in the link). The correct link for the image is:
There are a number of issues with what your trying to do.
First there is no picture in your account called 'whitemadieraMVC-127S.JPG' - so regardless of how you format the URL, or the code to make pics appear in the eBay forums, that won't work.
The good news is that your just misspelling it. (the I and the E in 'madiera' are swapped in your example.)
whitemadeiraMVC-127S.JPG is the correct filename for that picture.
That means the URL for that picture is:
http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/simplyuniquebargains/whitemadeiraMVC-127S.JPG
- then, to put it into HTML code (if thats what eBay wants for pics in their forums) it would look like this:
<img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/simplyuniquebargains/whitemadeiraMVC-127S.JPG">

Christopher
