How do I...

My eBid > My Buddy Points

Your Buddy point number, I think, is 415291

so your link should look like : http://uk.ebid.net/buddy/415291

If the number is correct. Just check it 1st though!

Thanks Cheaver, I've followed you're advice, but I must be doing something wrong. Using buddy points url I'm getting an error page when logo is clicked on, you can see what I mean here...http://uk.ebid.net/for-sale/ydc-124-...-130739675.htm

Can anyone work out what I'm doing wrong?

I think the problem is that the image has already been linked prior to you using it - so it isn't able to accept another link "on top" of the other one if you see what I mean.

When I clicked onto it it said "Server Not Found"

If you hosted the image elsewhere then you would be able to link it to your own URL - just what I think of course! The proof is in the pudding!

Sorry, test didn't work. I think image needs hosting elsewhere 1st.

How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live...

Oh, how do I resist a joke? Hehe

Here you go, the one above is linked to the buddy point number that cheaver provided. Try getting rid of the other one and paste this one in instead and see if it works. Don't forget to press save once you have put it in.

Thanks for your help all. I just changed browser from Firefox to Google Chrome, deleted the link and tried again and it worked this time, so it looks like I need to change the rest in Chrome.

Emmily, the one little "catch" that has not yet been mentioned ... to add an image into the body of a listing it needs to be stored somewhere other than your computer ... like on snapagogo.com.

Image just has to be uploaded to eBid to enable copy and paste, I did it last night (well, around 2.30am)
I just opened a new thread, uploaded the image, copy and pasted it to a listing template, then deleted the post.

Now that the post is deleted is the image still in your template?

Yes, image still there on both the original and the copy. I'll be posting about it soon as I need help with coding.

Not having a dig at your comment hurry, just letting people know easy way to insert images in listings.

No problem here. Always open to learning a new and easier way to do something. Let me know if it's still there in a couple of months.

Oh, erm, looks like I was wrong, no surprises there

The image is not showing in all browsers - Firefox, where the image is still showing was playing up, so I changed to Google Chrome and discovered the image is not showing there.

I'll go have a look at the hosting site Bluebedouin recommended...

edited to say -

I did it, I did it, I did it, all by myself

I used postimage.org, uploaded my image, chose the correct link, copied it, and found where in the coding to replace, using a copy of template in my defaults, image is showing. Now I have to go edit 15 listings and change them too.
