I am an auction watch premium subscriber and therefore have unlimited image usage. I have noticed that once I post an auction using ebays turbo lister and link to my image at auctionwatch, the picture is often deleted before the auctions end. WHY??
If you are using the URL we provide for your items, you should be ok. It would reset the date for you when buyers view your images in those listings.
Are you by chance using the URL from your image hosting page directly, rather than going through our system to get the code?
The code we give you is the one you need to use. If you notice that the code you are using is from right-clicking on your images in the image hosting page, or have the word 'preview' as part of the URL, the image date flag may not be reset, causing them to go untouched/deleted.

I get the links from my auction watch image hosting page by right clicking on it and selecting properies. From there, I cut and paste the URL into turbo lister. Is this not the correct way. If not, how do I "go through your system" as you stated?
There is a specific URL you want to use actually, to make sure the flag is reset.
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, 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.)
