| Getting the magician onto E-bay ? Can you assist here please ? a friend has been a right mug and 'purchased' one of those magicians that flit around your screen as an attachment !
Now that he has the attachment he needs to get it onto his E-bay pages,how exactly does he go about this ? where does he upload it to,any ideas ?
This guy is doing a roaring trade selling the magician attachmens at 0.99p each,what a nerve.

| Howdy Barry,
I dont guess I am quite sure of what you are talking about. Is it like a screensaver maybe?
And is he wanting on his ebay pages to sell or what? Now I have never bought anything thru ebay or sold anything there either, but, if he is wanting to sell it, I would think he would have to have the purchaser email him and the attachment be sent that way.
If he is just wanting a "screenshot" to advertise with, he might do just that, take a screenshot.
Now I reckon you are saying ok, how do you do a screenshot? its easy, hold down alt and hit the "prnt scrn" button up by F12, then open a program like "word" or "paint" and hold down the Ctrl button and hit the letter v. Then save the image as a file in your computer and post it like you would any other picture.
Anyway, let me know if thaqts what you were asking.
Have a good day,
greg aka GW |

| Greg,what it is,is this magician that waves a wand and flits across the screen from corner to corner,it comes in the form of an attachment that can normally be uploaded onto your own site,but on E-bay it is different because you are in effect loading onto a secure page,not sure whether E-bay like these things anyway but they are on there for sure,I just cannot think how you would go about uploading an attachment on an E-bay page ? because if you were allowed to upload attachments that would leave the system wide open to virus attacks.
Thanks for your thoughts on this,much appreciated.

Would he be breaking the piracy laws by selling them ? Quote: |
