Hi, i just got an email from a friend who is telling me that my newly listed auction is totally messed up, the pictures are skewed and to view the auction you have to keep scrolling across the screen. ON my computer it comes up normal....what in the heck is going on? i just used the new templates, is there some sort of glich or something not working right? please help, i guess my only option is to relist and eat the fees.....UGH!!! thanks

I don't have to scroll on mine but, I have a large monitor. You may not be able to use three pictures across due to the size? I don't use Vendio templates. I use Front Page and tables. The only real way to align your photos is with tables. By the way, your model is adorable!

thats strange...i am trying to figure out why it is coming out so funky on her computer....she has a Mac, i have a PC...i wonder if it something to do with that. Very strange. I like the new templates out, but i dont think i'll be using them if they cause that to happen! thanks again for looking

I have to scroll to the right to see it all.
Would guess it's the size of the pic's being 3 across.

is there any way to edit that using vendio, or will i just have to cancel the auction and relist?

You can edit, but it has to be in Ebay and you have to know a bit of HTML. To make it two across (I hope I explain this good enough): Scroll through the description until you see the reference to your photos. After the second photo reference, type <p>. This will put a paragraph between the pictures. If you want just a space as opposed to a paragraph type <br>. To make your photos more centered: In front of the reference to your first photo type <center> and at the end of the reference to your 3rd photo type </center>. Your photo reference will look something like this: <a href="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/viewimage.x/00000000/cblev65252/enamel1.jpg?allow_mailing_list=1&owner_id=405621&allow_track_link=1&track=022118649c-63075&pt=bidpay" class=textLink><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/cblev65252/.mids/enamel1.jpg"
ALT="Image Hosting by vendio.com" width="250" height="246" ><br><font size="2">Click image to view larger version</font>
I know it sounds complicated, but once you find the line referencing your photo, it will be easy. What I would suggest is that if you have FrontPage or another HTML editor, copy your description from Ebay (do it in Revise Auction) and paste it into the HTML tab on FrontPage. That way, you can play around with it. Wish I could help you more.

If your going to use 3 photo's across they have to be small. I recommend only 1 on top and than 2 side by side on the bottom. That way your auctions will only take up the size of the computer. They call it center and split.

i did have to scroll to the right just a little but it was worth it. what cute jeans! i think it will do alright as it is.
since you have the first bid, it is all uphill from this point.

I also have to scroll. It's definately the 3 images across. I'm working on the new templates now and I always have mine allign on the left side - that prevents scrolling. I would just make that adjustment in your templates for future auctions - don't worry about this one - it's not that bad. I only put images on top if it's an item where I only use 2 pictures.

Don't worry about the scrolling on this auction and just avoid using that template in the future.
