Thread Title: "New "Manage My Pictures" feature"
AA-bob In response to many requests from our good customers (thank you!), we have now added a feature to Manage My Pictures that will allow you to bulk upload 10 pictures at a time. This is a "first step" iteration and will be further fine-tuned and enhanced.

The issue of picture uploading (and the time it takes) remains a concern and it is "the" bottleneck/constraint to our sellers running more auctions. We are looking at several possible technical and procedure solutions and enhancements to reduce the pain and overhead of the whole picture uploading and management problem.

Try out this new feature and let us know how it works. In the meantime...Stand by for further improvement in this area.

AuctionArmsCeo Small update. We were able to streamline the upload process even further. I just ran a test and here were the results...

I selected 200mb of pictures. That's a total of 80 files in this case. With a grand total of two clicks, the new tool preprocessed them on my local pc - reducing them in size to about 6mb, resized them and added a water mark, then uploaded them to Auction Arms in 4min 45 sec. That's smokin!!!!!

Hope you like it, 'cuz I think I'm in love....

(no avatar) I don't have any problems with the upload, It's when I'm viewing another auction, and some down loads fast and some takes forever, when I get a real slow one I usually go to another one auction. Will this system change when you download to view an auction? because if it doesen't you are defeating the purpose of adding more pictures 460

AuctionArmsCeo With some auctions, we can't control how a seller formats the picture. If the seller is having the picture hosted at another site, we can't change how big the picture is, and how long it takes to download.

If the seller uploads his pictures to Auction Arms, we automatically resize the picture and shrink the file size to make the viewing experience consistently quick.

AuctionArmsCeo Willie TA, called me and brought it to me attention that if you used the new picture tool to add pictures to your auction, it wiped out the existing thumbnail. This is the result of a code update from Friday, so I've refunded all charges for Thumbnails from Friday till now. I've also fixed the problem, so I apologize for any trouble this might have caused.
