Moving your pictures from Auctiva to Photobucket or another image storage server is not too difficult. Time consuming, but not difficult.

From you auctiva account, go to the section marked "images". Once in that section, scroll to "manage images". When you have clicked on that your images will appear and next to each one you will see "URL". Copy , control - copy, this URL code.

In your Photobucket or other storage account go to your "upload images" section. You should see an "upload from web URL" click link. When you click on this you will see a section that says, " paste web url here". Just copy and paste and upload.

For easiest use have two web browsers open and just go back and forth. In photobucket you have the option of adding many photos at one time, just click on the "add more" link. Other storage site may or may not allow you to upload in bulk, just test them out.

Pictures moved this way will come out in the correct size and detail while trying to copy and paste the pictures themselves directly from Auctiva ends up giving thumbnail versions of lower quality.

Hope this helps with the major stress!!
