Alas! I'm quite fond of the artistic templates you offered, Jan. They seem to give a feel of class to the listings, in my opinion. The blah style of listing is one of the reasons I no longer list on eCrater. Of course, I suppose many of the shoppers of today aren't as conscious of aesthetics as in the past. Frankly, I'm amazed by how my daughter shops using only her iPhone. I find the small screens annoying. Sometimes I even miss my big screen monitor that I used with my desktop Penelope. Oh well! Time marches on.
Actually, I'm thinking about hosting my pics on my own site, since I've underutilized it for years.
I did go through the basic templates I use here on eBid for my stores. I removed all the hosted images and animation such as the PEACE sign in the Purple Peace Shoppe and my pointing finger to show people where to click. Bummer! I liked them.
Naturally, it's going to be a little while until I get my listings switched over. Hopefully, this promise of additional photograph capability will not drag on too long like some things have done.
Bloomin 'eck!
I just updated my Me page because all the images hosted on my Photobucket account were not showing any more.
So, I got busy downloading all the images I needed into My Gallery and used the links from there.
Works brilliantly.
Was a lot of work and I'm angry with Photobucket - I think I will delete my account on there.
From my end of the spectrum, all looks well, but I would appreciate any extra 'eyes' and let me know if anything looks 'off '

I also found a listing with all the images gone in my description and had to do the same thing.
I guess I will get busy checking out other listings I may have used images in my description area.
All this blerdy work because of the so called 'free' Photobucket - what a pain in the 'proverbial' !!
I just received an email from Photobucket advising that the links to my photos will be disabled if I don't upgrade to their Plus 500 plan for $400. I guess I'll have to close most of my listings as I update to remove the embedded images while I wait for eBid revamp and the 15 photo deal. Frankly, I'm not overly confident in the boys in the tower getting it done any time soon.
I'm still considering hosting my on my own site, but until then I'll probably just make do with the five. Of course, Photobucket is being something of a pain in my backside. The wording of their email makes it sound like I've been stealing by using the services they use to provide for free without paying. Oh well! I don't suppose they'll miss any of us that decide to leave them.
Well, I'm off to edit my listings. Catch y'all later.
