Been doing some listings tonight, normally I upload a picture of the item into the body of the listing from Photobucket, by pasting the HTML code, then centering it when I revert back to the standard format. Well, I'll be blowed if I can get the picture centered - well peeved as I spent ages putting them in PB and resizing.  |

I'll be blowed if I can get the picture centered I'm assuming you've typed in the HTML centring code before and after the pics? Possibly this: <center>put your text here</center>You're not spelling it UK English, are you? It's YEARS since I listed but I used to spend hours and hours doing it. scylla |

Thanks Scylla  . . . I'll go give that a try, haven't had to put a centring code in before, the way I've always done it, is when you go back on the standard format, by clicking the square box affair for centring the font that automatically does the picture. Will report back in a mo >>>>>>>>>>>> |

When they brought in the "easy" way to format listings I was a Luddite and stuck to the hard way  Shortly after that I ceased selling. scylla |

Perp if you only sell occasionally it might be worth looking at Auctiva, it's so easy and you can add lots of pics for free. |

Thanks Dee . . . I wasn't going to bother selling again on Ebay and most of my stuff I take to the charity shops thesedays, but some of it, just can't bring myself to part with it for nothing.

I think that covers everything Scylla, retract bid, report & block. Funnily enough I've had a buyer whose account looks very dubious, not very subtle these shillers are they. >  |

Shillers either get their mates to bid up their items or set up other Ebay accounts themselves to do just that Lynda, so the unspecting buyer gets done, by having to pay more than had their been no bid interference. It goes on far more than Ebay would have you believe, made considerably worse by Ebay's hidden bidder id policy. > Another rubbish decision on their part, in my view. |
