Dunno about that unless I write my buddy link on them lol.

It's a shame we haven't got short urls for our store names.

I've got a buddy as well now - my first one! Only another 63 and I can bid on a DS lite!

Toy Crazy,your buddy link button on your auctions isn't that obvious to an inexperienced browser or shopper.Cocksparrer you don't have one at all.:eek:
A useful freeware button creator can be found here (http://www.likno.com/web-button-maker/download.html)
If you take a look at my auctions (http://uk.three.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?words=bluebedouin&mo=search&type=user) you can see that browsers/shoppers are shown quite clearly where to go in order to join.
Cocksparrer you could also do a link back to your other auctions using the wording at the bottom of your first listing.
"PLEASE LOOK AT OTHER ITEMS I AM SELLING".
If you paste this code in place of that text in the html window,it will give a clickable link to your other auctions saving potential customers time.
<a href="http://uk.four.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?words=cocksparrer&mo=search&type=user"> Please look at other items I am selling.</a>
Hope this helps.:)

Thanks for that bluebedouin. I'll have a look at those buttons.

How do you get the eBid logo in the corner of your pictures?

Do you know if it is possible to get the little slide shows on your auctions which show some of your other items across the page - looks a bit like a film roll (like I have seen on the 'dark side')?

I think your button in itself is fine,you just need to make people aware what it's for.It's only when you hover over it that it shows it's a link.
The eBid logo is attached to photos from your "My eBid gallery",the ones without are done via photobucket.
I'm not sure about the slideshows,I haven't seen them on here & I would imagine it would have to be part of the site software to work.

Yeah, I've had 3 buddies join now in total and I've made it onto the Buddypoints leader board on the homepage!

It would be interesting to see (if you're nosey, like me), where they clicked the link from eg which item it was they were looking at (if they didn't buy anything when they joined), or if they clicked the link on my website.:D
