I love Vendio, but I want to open an ebay store also. Can I use my images on Vendio in my ebay store? Is there a charge for the photo? Would a listing in the ebay store be charged a listing fee through Vendio?
You can use images in your eBay Store, that are hosted here. You are on one of the monthly plans, which includes free image hosting, so there is no charge for you to use images in the eBay store. Do you need the image URL? Let me know if you do.
The annual plan has unlimited image hosting as well, so if you switched back to that and used images in your eBay store it will not cost you anything.
We are currently working on implementation of eBay Stores support. At this time, we estimate that we will have this completed in fall, 2003. Please check our Announcements board often as we will make an announcement when this feature becomes available.
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.)
