Weird Sign coming up

Is it just me, have I done something wrong? Where the Auctiva normal Scrolling gallery used to be now shows an Explaination( ! )Mark inside a Grey circle. Have I messed something up or is it an Auctiva Problem, anyone else got this?????Ta

I only checked 3 of your listings but they all had the Auctive gallery, not the exclamation mark

Thanks for taking the time to look for me, I can only see the mark, have sent a message to Auctiva, just in case it is them. Not behind on payments set up for auto deductions so all covered (i hope) there. I still can only see the Exclamaition mark. Weird....

Well, I blinked and appears to have been reset by the Ebay/Auctiva Gods! Now showing as the Scrolling Gallery, .......Just as well I haven't been drinking....or maybe that's the problem....runs to the scotch bottle.

So the good glitch fairy did you a favour by disabling the DSC (dreadful scrolling gallery) and now you are happy the spell has worn off and now you can inflict it on prospective buyers again ]:)

Many sellers appear to love the thing but don't realise just how many buyers hate it.

If you must have a scrolling gallery there are much better ones available if you google.

If you insist on having it, how about putting it UNDER your description? Much less annoying as most buyers, anecdotally, don't scroll down that far.

I've never understood why sellers use those things. Totally unreliable, half the time the images don't load and they look like darp.

But more importantly why sellers would put them at the top of the listing. Why attempt to divert the potential buyer AWAY from your listing, before they have even read it?
