Hi, I'm new to ebid and have tried to list a few items. My photos do not show in the search listing. When you click on each seperate listing you can see the item but not if you search..any help would be greatly appreciated!

The three you have listed that are showing images in the search results are all Gallery listings. All the others are Free listings. Free Listings do not include the image in search results.

Can I change the others to gallery? Thought I'd ask before I tried it. I'm having some trouble listing. Just used to ebay or feebay. Thanks!

Free Auction: No pictures shown.
Other fee Auctions: pictures shown.

You cannot make any changes to an active listing that would in any way impact on fees payable - which changing from a Free Listing to a Gallery listing would.

You will need to close, edit and repost the items as described at: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/astral....icks.htm#a0043

I'm trying to post my photo in the search listing as well but no success yet. My understanding is, if you can't change from a free service, then why was I able to change a few things such as... adding bold letters and high lighting my ad but can't seem to add my main search / gallery photo?

As Seller+ you can change a Free listing to a Gallery listing (and vice versa) as long as the listing has not received any bids. Simply edit the listing and select the appropriate option in Section Four : Listing Type.

Your listing already has images defined, so the first will be used in search and browsing results.

If you continue to have problems you may need to spell out what steps you are taking, plus any error messages you are getting.

While you are editing, it may be a good idea to put what you are selling in the title of the listing. There is no mention that you are selling a television.

Also contact details are not allowed in the listing.

"OLDER MODEL BUT STILL WORKS LIKE NEW AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!"

Because,let's face it,we all come under that heading!
