Vendio announced image-hosting enhancements for its auction management services. The company's new image-watermarking feature helps eBay sellers protect their images by automatically adding text or a graphic to their item images. The service costs $2.95 per month and allows watermarking on an unlimited number of images.

Vendio's new ZoomStream feature allows buyers to zoom in on details in a photo "on demand." Sellers can upload images to Vendio up to 15Mb each in size. Buyers then download an initial view of your images in a convenient album format that is no larger than a single large image. Vendio reports that instead of waiting for many images to load or moving on to another seller’s items, buyers can immediately select their most important image views and zoom in to get only the image details they want. See a demonstration of ZoomStream at:

The first ZoomStream upload is free, with subsequent ZoomStream Images available for $1 for the first 2-week period of unlimited use after upload, and $0.50 per 2-week renewal period of unlimited use until the image is deleted.

Vendio also said it will now stores deleted images in sellers' accounts for 14 extra days. Sellers can find their deleted images in Manage Images in a new folder marked “Recycle Bin.” There is no charge for "undeleting" a Standard Image.
