Can someone suggest an alternative image hosting site? while auctionwatch is fine for ebay, I have an AMAZON.COM zshop, and the images from auctionwatch don't work there.

ANy suggestions?

thanks!

Dear yeahwell:

Establish your free web site space through your ISP (internet provider, i.e. MSN or AOL)
Then upload your scans to your web site, then give your web site space address at the site not covered by AW when you are asked the URL address to download your images. And it is all free.

yeahwell -- The AW images should work okay. You just need to extract the correct URL. Instead of copying the link that is displayed when you click on "view larger image", you need to look at the URL of the image once you right click, Properties on the image itself.

Lets take this auction for example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2009335766

Click on "Click image to view larger version"
If you use that link, your image will not load on other servers.

Now, right click properties on the actual image:
http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/eapearsall/aw01.JPG

Does that make sense?

doteasy http://www.doteasy.com

Comes with email addy's, a website, and your own domain name.

Not to mention it is cheaper than AW.

to SUN818:

thank you! thank you! thank you!!!!

you must solved 1 1/2 years of problems I've had with images! Last year, the people at AMAZON.COM (after complaining on the phone many times and writing letters to top management) finally told me that the reasons my images were not appearing on my ZSHOP was because of the way auctionwatch has their images configured; they were not compatible with AMAZON and that I would either have to find another image-hosting site OR let AMAZON host the images.

I chose the latter. and when I opened a second z shop with other items, I hosted them at BAYPAL and they worked fine until recently.

BUT NOW, after reading your instructions..... images from BAYPAL ***and*** auctionwatch ARE WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, i think i want to slowly switch back to auctionwatch because they have unlimited image hosting for a set price, is that correct??? Can I host as many images as necessary for $12.95 a month with no additional costs? PLEASE someone let me know! thanks!!!!
