Did You Know?

This is a collection of tips that may help you in your computing.

  1. Here are the tags that you cannot use in your description on eBay auctions.

    <head>-----</head>-----<meta>-----<base>-----<baseref>
    <style>-----</style>-----<iframe> -----</iframe>

  2. Its best not to use any quotation " marks " in your HTML code for eBay auctions. If you need to use quotes, such as for an ALT tag or the name of a font with spaces in it, make sure to use them in pairs or things will have a tendency to "disappear".

  3. Not For Mac Users

    To increase or decrease your Font size
    Using Netscape 7.1, hold down your CTRL key and press + or - on your keypad.

    Using Internet Explorer, hold down your CTRL key and roll your wheel on your mouse forward or backward.

  4. AOL Users, few tips that may help you to get more bids.

    AOL doesn't use WWW in their URL'S so never put them in because eBay cannot get the Gallery images if you do.

  5. I see quite a few of you AOL users placing a Colon : in the url after .com, this will stop several browsers from seeing your pictures and it is not needed.

  6. One of the most asked question from AOL users is "why do my pictures look so Fuzzy after I upload them to my auctions?" The answer is here,
    Fuzzy Photos

  7. Here is a helper page to help you upload your images To AOL

  9. When naming your images, keep the name short, only you will see it. Use all lowercase letters, saves many headaches.
    Don't use any characters like # $ % ^ & * @ this messes up the files and "Never" have a space, many browsers will not recognize it as a picture file, if you really need two words, use a dash - or an underscore_
    Make sure that they are saved as jpg or gif images

  10. Someone Using Your Pictures Without Permission?

    Best to put your name on them in the future. Click Here To See How

    If you find out that another user has taken your pictures or even using your whole text and images, here is what you can do.
    I suggest that you send them a kindly e-mail stating that it is against eBays rules to use anothers property without permission. Ask them to please remove them from their auction or you will be forced to turn them in to eBay. Send them a copy of the Infringment Rules
    If they refuse, be sure to contact eBay by the Report

  11. In order to have the in your listings, you need to have a picture in the first box or the first browse box if you are using eBays Picture Service. If you are hosting your own, add a url in the Picture URL Box on the listing form or just place a checkmark in the box at the bottom of the form. You can only add one if you do NOT have any bids. You need to go to the Revise Link.
    It can take up to a couple of hours before you see the change, it has to be indexed.

  12. Gallery thumbnails are replaced by the before the gallery thumbnail is created. Typically, that thumbnail is created before the item makes it onto the search and listings pages.
    However, the seller's other items page shows items immediately after they are listed. You are seeing items with gallery that have not yet had a gallery thumbnail created, and that is the replacement image showin place of a broken image. The Gallery Image will still appear on those a short while after listing. You may see some photos take longer to show up. Some catagories take a lot longer, like Collectables.
    To make sure that you are seeing the latest upload, Hold down your Shift Key while refreshing your page.

  13. Browser Will Only Save Gifs As BMP's ?

    Because of a glitch, Internet Explorer can cause .gif images to be downloaded as .bmp files. This happens when IE's temporary internet files (cache) fills up. To correct the problem, simply go to Internet options in your control panel and choose delete files in the Temporary Internet Files area.

  14. Please hold down your Shift Key while Refreshing or Reloading your page.
    This forces a fresh page and you will see the latest one.

    Have a look at this, Nortons internet security 2002 (NOT 2003) often gets SDFB or SD errors. running live update multiple times rebooting after each solves that usually AdSubtract causes SD and SDFB errors -- solution, turn it off. it think the JS file that runs EPS is an ad -- it isn't

    ERROR SDFB013 means Missing protocol values for MSA usually caused by third party software (firewall like Zone Alarm Pro) stripping headers. Members should look for a setting like "do not send anonymous headers" and disable that.

    ERROR MEFB-003 means:
    miscellaneous error, enhanced upload. most common occurrence is relist or revising an item where the EPS image files have been deleted (by eBay after 90 days since the last relist -- etc.) or by the member deleting the picture from their Picture Manager subscription.
