You might not know about an AOL server problem if you're looking at images that you posted yourself, Jim. They wsre probably cached on your PC's disk when you first checked out your post and when you look at the auction later, you see them without need to access the AOL server.

As a user who looks at a lot of eBay auctions, I can say that any seller that uses AOL for his picture server is losing out on sales due to missing pictures. Particularly during busy weekends, AOL-served pictures just do not show, or take so long that a reasonable buyer would give up and go on before they load.
