How do we change the Category from media to something else or add more cat?
Also is their a way to upload more than 1 image or do we have to use bbcodes for that?

Hit submit and no auction shows up.

This is much better, thanks for the effort you are putting into this! However, when I try to sell, I'm not getting an image upload field...is this something I've done wrong?

There's also a simple, cross-browser html editor here. I've used it and it's ideal for this auction addon. There aren't as many features as, say, TinyMCE, but it's faster loading and easier to install.

I am still working on adding image uploading

and chick, try reuploading and reimporting the files, it seems to work for everyone else
