    Default Importing files from eBay

    I'm trying to import some files from eBay. I have followed the instructions, and it all works very well, except for one thing:

    It imports the listings, but not the photographs.

    I know the photographs are still there, because I can see them: I have assembled what I want to export from TurbotLister in a single file.

    Any ideas?
    I don't want to have to photograph everything again.

    Try this to find out where your photos are located.

    You can see your photos, so right click on one of them and see what is the location reference. It might be to one of the drives on your PC, or it might be to an ebay file on the web.

    If it is to your PC, then you can upload them to Ebid with Ninja or Ebidloader spreadsheet.

    If the pictures are on Ebay, then you could in theory right click on the picture and save to your PC, one by one, and then upload them as before.

    I've copied all the images to another file.
    I've been through the imported listings, adding pictures and tried to upload. It fails, then tells me there is no image on item 2 (say).
    I check the image, and there it is, and try again - no luck it still doesn't work. So I delete that item, and try to upload the rest.

    My Bulk upload tells me that the upload has failed, but not why.

    I have tried a straight new listing with Ninja lister - a single item. That also fails. (But no reason why). So it seems I can't upload anything.
    Only thing I can think of is that it can't find the image files - that the filepath is too long. I'll try relocating the pictures.

    Anybody got any other ideas?

    If I can't import listings, and I can't make new listings, I'm a bit stumped

    Did you know that you can upload your pictures in advance to Ebid?

    Go to My Gallery and follow the instructions for uploading.
    Additionally you can bulk upload pictures by creating a zip file and uploading .zip instead of .jpg. In Vista you select the files you want and save them as a compressed file.

    You would need to use the Ebid reference in My Gallery as a link to your pictures.

    Thanks very much for that.
    I can see that that could be very useful in the future
