the mouse or the keyboard. If you need a crash course,

|
That's it! If you know how to do these three things, you
can use MorePix right now to get multiple pictures into your eBay
auction. |
|
Where will the pictures show in my auction?
Pictures hosted at MorePix will be shown in a new window.
That opens when your bidder clicks the MorePix button.
This new page will resize to fit the photos you provide so part of
the auction page remains visible and your customer isn't confused!
(click the button to demonstrate)
If you want photos to show
in the auction page itself, you'll need our paid service.
|
How do I get the link in my auction?
Create your auction as you normally do. When you auction looks like you want,
make sure you change to the 'Enter your own HTML' view on eBays form, then
copy and paste in the control shown in the box below:
If your auction is already running, Choose 'revise listing' and add the link as shown.
NOTE! The link used to activate MorePix is the same for all users and for
all auctions! Editing is not required.
|
Everyone uses pop-up blockers now. Won't that block my pictures?
No! Morepix does not use a pop-up window. Your images are shown in an entirely new
browser window which will not be blocked by any browser settings The new window
does a 'smart' resize when loaded so portions of your auction will remain visible.
That may make it look like a pop-up, but it's not. You can test by turning on
your own pop-up blocker then using the test link above.
|
Which do I do first? Start the auction or upload the pictures?
MorePix needs the eBay assigned item numbers before images are uploaded.
Start your auction first, then upload the images. You can upload
images immediately after the auction starts. (within a few seconds)
|
If I don't upload the pictures right away, what will my bidders see?
Your bidder will see a message that photos are not yet available and asked
to check back later.
|
I'm still confused. Is there a step by step guide?
|
I never received a welcome email or a bill. Why not?
Because of the spam problem, many ISPs and/or virus programs will prevent email
from new senders. If you feel the welcome email was blocked, you may contact
us using the support link in the upper right of each page.
|
How does the system know which pictures belong with which auction?
MorePix depends on the protocol used by eBay for displaying auctions. One element
of eBay's link method includes the auction number of the item being viewed by your bidder.
If eBay changes this method during the course of your auction, the MorePix
images may not appear.
|
Will this work in any auctions other than eBay?
No. The MorePix system currently supports eBay auctions only.
|
Do I have to edit the link so it will go to my account?
No. The 'smart link' control used to activate MorePix is the same for
all users and for all auctions! No editing is required.
|
I copied the URL from one of my photos into the auction as an in-line image. Now the
image is broken (red x) I know the link is good. Why is this happening.
Photos hosted using the free account may not be directly linked. They will
only display using the MorePix control.
|
When should I log in or out?
MorePix keeps you logged 'in' as long as the cookie on your
PC which indicates your account is valid. This makes it convenient
to go right to work anytime you access the MorePix site. If you share your computer
or use a shared computer at work and want to maintain privacy, you may log 'out'
after each session from the control menu.
