image not available - any ideas?

All the pictures in my listings now suddenly say 'image not available' on a dark grey background. Anyone know why? They were fine before. I just re-listed them as usual and I am sure they were fine when I did so?

I did originally set them up on Auctiva which I am now no longer using. Have Auctiva stopped access to photos originally loaded up with them or something now?

I't s very odd...

    Yeah i know they started charging on the 1st July and I just continued to relist in ebay. Losing scheduled listings was a bit of a pain but the other thing I liked it for was multiple photos. However the auctions I have up currently were for clothes and ebay is doing free clothes pictures at the moment so I thought no probs I'll just re-list through ebay and I am sure they were fine a couple of days ago when I re-listed them, it's just this morning they have just vanished and I jsut wondered if it was maybe that Auctiva just suddenly realised that they had people using photos originally added to their site which were now being used on ebay and they wanted to put a stop to it or something...

    In a previous thread, there were mutterings that all photos, even supersized, were all currently free on ebay. :confused:

    I don't know if that is correct or still valid, but if it is, then you may as well load directly to ebay :)
