Yup probably you link to an image on another server. Shutterfly or your own host.

I used to have a wysiwyg html builder that was kind of like vsd and once you created your page it would provide you the html code. I tried looking for it but cannot find it. I used this to create my about me page on eBay and all I did was enter the html once I was done. I guess I am just going to have to keep looking for that software if it even exists. Thanks!

eBay are terrified of people directing business to their own store or including links to direct e-mail for off eBay deals, so they restrict almost all custom markup.

I think Eric is on the ball, you should put your header up on your own server or on S-Drive and then reference it from the eBay store. If that doesn't work, read the eBay customization tutorials for stores.

I have a seller account on eBay but I don't have a store as I am an occasional seller.

My page with my logo is here: http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=fixtronix.ie but as I say, it's not a store front.

I do know that eBay are a bit protective about what you can and can't add/do on their servers (a bit like the php restrictions on S-Drive etc.)

Hopefully someone who has an eBay store will come along and enlighten us all about how you can do what you wish to do.

Best of luck

Hi again Carlos,

VSD does actually output html, so if eBay lets you upload your own store front using your own html, then you can use your VSD designed header easily.

First, locate the directory where the VSD creation is saved
Then, ignore the .vnu file and open the associated directory
In there is the html files and a folder called "Files" which contains images etc.
You can now upload all to your normal host or to S-Drive and then open the html file and edit the <img src="files/img.png"> tags to be "http://www.yourhost.com/files/img.png" (img.png is an example, but obviously in your case it will be a different filename with .jpg, .gif or .png etc.).
When you are done editing all the images to be called directly from your server, use select all ( CTRL-A) to copy the entire html and then paste it into your eBay custom html area (CTRL-V).

Now, when you update this / save this on eBay it should result in what you designed in VSD becoming your eBay store home header

I figured it out guys. Photobucket is the answer. You just upload the image and it gives you the html code. I added the html to eBay and wala - http://stores.ebay.com/Minerva-Gallery- … Art?_rdc=1

Just a rough draft but I will make it better with vsd when I have more time but for now I think its quite nice.

It's a result

Hahaha thats the same video I watched to get the answer, thanks Eric!

Thanks Eric, I never thought of using Ebay to sell software but It is a good idea. Looks like a shop setup for me. I have about 20 different utilities so a Ebay shop could be one way to go. Best of all I do have an account. Sold one item only a Sharp hand held Computer. Vintage. I do purchase stuff though. I can use my server to hold images.
