Thread: Bulk Upload Errors

  1. #1

    Default Bulk Upload Errors

    I have tried to upload a bulk file for two days. It has about 30 auctions on it. It came back with an error "invalid image" we checked it over, we saved it, and resent it, and it came back "invalid image". My husband checked it, one of our staff checked it and again I checked it. We cannot find an "invalid image." We checked all the images to make sure they were real URLs and not a typo., I dont know where to go from here with this file. I would like to get it uploaded. I uploaded two files yesterday and three files the day before, but this one file will not upload.

    Can anyone help?

    All images must include "http://" at the beginning of the URL, this is a common mistake made.

    Default error

    Ok here is my error message

    There were errors in your data, please read ALL the instructions and hints on this email and the spreadsheet before resubmitting your data.

    The following errors occured with your auctions :
    Auction 1 Error : Image is invalid.


    So I assumed it was the first image, however we have checked all the images, and we uploaded them to a different bulk uploader and images and everything worked. So here is the first image.


    http://www.bdsm-gear.com/merpics/florablk.jpg

    this is from the day 2 spreadsheets. Now i sent in two spreadsheets today for day three but have yet to hear if they uploaded or not. I have about 400 auctions to upload over a 7 day period.
    Can duplicate pictures cause this problem? If I have that image in an auction listed on my day 1? Also I didn't delete any of the ebid stuff on the bulk uploaded , all the preset and examples are still there. Can that cause a problem?

    thanks for your help. I would love to figure this out before I upload the rest of the auctions.

    also a little hint as it fooled me! when it says auction 1 it means auction 1 and if any lines are included on the top it doesn't count these, with auction 1 its straight forward!!! but if its auction 309 for example I thought it was lline 309!! lol and I was wrong!
