Exporting Turbo Lister Files with Pictures

When I use File Exchange to export Turbo Lister files into CSV format, the pictures do no appear. How do I get the pictures to go along with the rest of the data.

Re: Exporting Turbo Lister Files with Pictures

The images eBay stores are eBay's intellectual property. See the UA.

 

Rumor is that the images that eBay developes, from the images you upload, have a signature embedded. Reusing the images for other item listings, scraping them off of eBay's server for archival purposes, modifying the images, are all violations of the UA.

 

This may also apply to using the images stored on your computer, in the TL directories. I do not know the true answer to that. C:\programdata\ebay\turbo lister2\data\(your userid)listing\ <-active listings, c:\programdata\ebay\turbo lister2\user000  <-inventory items. To see these directories, on your computer, check the box "Hidden items" on the View ribbon of Window's FileExplaorer.

 

Before you let the above info (directories) excite you, there is a pattern for the subdirectories that the images are stored in, but this user does not know the pattern (I save original images, so it does not matter to me). For members who have hundreds/thousands of listings, that info is not necessarily helpful.

 

Members need to archive their original images for their own purposes. Using a CustomLabel in each listing, makes it easier to provide filenames for the original images.
