AUCTIVA SCROLLING GALLERY

puppoochi — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:05:27 GMT

I have attached a scrolling gallery to one to one of my listings, cut and pasted into the HTML section, it looks great, just what I wanted.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271088752144#ht_776wt_1271

but now all my other listings also have the scrolling gallery, but the scrolling gallery is on top of the item description, it looks terrible, what have I done wrong here????

many eBayers, including me, hate the scrolling galleries on listings

They give me motion sickness if they are are going really fast and others don't like wasting their download allowances on them when they only want to look at one item.

Just because a seller has 30 or so items listed does not mean I or anyone else wants to see them.

why?

they distract me.

If I am interested in a listing, I want to look at that listing. If I want to see what other items a seller has listed I will look at the "see other items" link. If I only want to look at that one listing I do not want to be distracted by some scrolling gallery.

You can go to 'Edit Scrolling Gallery' in Auctiva and change it there. Here's the link:

It's the 13th question down the list - 'Can I change the position of the Auctiva Scrolling Gallery in my listings'.

I wasn't ignoring your problem, its just that I have no idea about how to fix it.

Hope you don't mind me saying I don't it either - not meaning any offence to you personally. Guess it's not really that I don't like it but I'm a bad migraine sufferer and can't look at it as it makes my eyes go funny - so it doesn't like me. It wouldn't stop me buying from a seller who has it - just avoid looking at the scrolling pictures.

I did try Auctiva once on trial but gave it up after a couple of days as couldn't even look at my own listings properly :-x

thank you trulyspecialgoodies.

I've given it a go but am still experiencing the issue. I have however put the HTML code in an existing ebay listing not via auctiva.

I may just have to edit each listing individually as my listings did not transfer over to auctiva

For some reason sellers seem to like the DSG (dreadful scrolling gallery) but believe us when we say that many, many buyers hate it.

I did give it a try way back in my early selling days but removed it after a month and did far better without it.

May I also comment that saying payment must be made within 3 days is counterproductive, ebay give buyers 4 days before you can even open a dispute and another 4 after that so there is nothing you can do to enforce it.

I know it may seem ultra picky but I also hate seeing "You are bidding on....", actually I am not, I am considering it and don't like the seller assuming that I am doing anything.

I'm not keen on scrolling gallery and I hate it when it's on the top but I don't mind it when it's on the bottom.

Instead of scrolling gallery you can put sample pictures of different design and colours with a line like "other colours and designs available and put a link to your other listings on the bottom. In that way buyers can see your other items and don't have to see flicking screen. Just another idea to consider.

I have purchased many products after something catching my eye in the scrolling gallery. The item I looked at might not have impressed me that much, but then I've been more impressed with items in the scrolling gallery. So each to their own I guess.

I have may buyers regularly by many multiple purchases from me, I just assumed it was because of the scrolling gallery. I didn't realise that it made people giddy and they don't like it.

I also like the scrolling gallery at the bottom of the listing, not the top. It doesn't make me giddy & I have purchased items after looking at the gallery

To each their own I guess

I doubt many people who replied to this thread OVER FOUR YEARS ago will respond.

You are doubtless aware that active content (which hopefully includes the scrolling gallery) won't be supported for much longer.

So in the spirit of your question - GET RID OF IT ALTOGETHER.

Btw - all caps is considered shouting and is, thus, rude.
