Original Post: I want to replace the picture in a running (no bids) Ebay listing with a better one that I've uploaded to auctionwatch. How do I determine its auctionwatch url so I can cut and paste that info into the ebay revise item area to replace the old url gif with the new one?
Sorry, question should have been: I want to replace the picture in a running (no bids) Ebay listing with a better one. How do I do that?
Kiara posted a reply of procedures that I followed and all worked fine EXCEPT strangely, the gallery picture (same image name) did not change. Can anyone help me change that image as well?
To obtain the code which contains your image URL(s), follow these steps:
1. Click the Image Hosting tab.
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, you will see HTML that contains your image URL. 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.) That is the URL you would want to replace within your listing, in order to change the image.
The gallery image is changed differently. Again, you would want to obtain that URL, and then place it on eBay's gallery correction form:
