Hi,
Could anyone tell me what the largest size of image in KB that is allowed to up loaded into my image files for my auctions? I tried to upload some pics and they came back with the message the file is too big and not allowed. How big can it be? How does the "click here to enlarge picture" feature work? Do those need to be a certain size or not over a certain size to work? Please help....

Hey there,
The largest size image you can have is 350KB for standard imags. If your images are too large and are causing your uploads to fail, you will need to resize them locally and try again. (**Note that once your images are uploaded, you can enable the automatic image resizing function which will display a smaller version of your images in your auctions and still allow your buyers to view the enlarged version. To enable this feature, go to My Account -> Global Preferences.)
Here is the url for our basic image sizing tutorial:
http://imagehost.vendio.com/help/imgsize.html
Keep in mind that the tutorial is very general, and may not match what you see in your image editor. Your image editor should have some online documentation or manuals that will give directions on how to size and save images.
If you want to compress your images so they will be smaller in kilobytes, but retain the same area, color, and resolution, there are a couple of web utilities available that will help with this. We recommend http://www.spinwave.com/ for online file compression utilities. You can also download jpeg and gif compression utilities for a minimal charge from http://www.downloads.com.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
