Hi

If you go to somewhere like https://www.photobucket.com
You can upload your photos there. When you are doing your auctions, it will ask you do you want to upload a photo or use a URL - use the URL option, and put in the address to your photo - then you can put up as many photos as you like for free! Also if someone steals your photo you can edit/delete it!
Hope this helps!
Kindest Regards,

Hi babybimbles,
I posted the info on adding pictures for free, although it was part of a separate thread - no need to search through it, I've copied the details below.
Best of luck.....
**********************************************************
Since I don't know what sort of level of computing knowledge you have, I thought it best to explain this in very simple terms, so excuse me if it sounds a little condescending - it's not meant to!
Once you have added the first free pic, right-click it on the preview page, and select copy. Then go back to your ad, and to the "Edit description" part. Once you get to the part of your ad that you would like to see that photo, just click the cursor there, and then paste (whatever way you prefer to do that, obviously Ctrl+V is the quickest shortcut but you can right click and select paste).
Then go back to "Edit pictures", click on 'delete existing picture' and then select your new one. You are then back on the preview page. Follow the above until you have added all the pics you need. I tend to preplan what images I need and where, and finish with the photo that I will eventually use for the Gallery Pic.
I hope that explains it, if not give me a quick slap and say so, I will try again. This 'process' does not work by simply copying the photo's from a file on your computer and then pasting into the ad. You have to see the pic on a web page first.
It also means you can copy any image you see on the internet and paste it into your ad, but beware that if they remove their image, yours goes too (so best to save a copy on your computer...)
Good luck - Happy selling!!

It does work with Turbo Lister, as long as you're in the html view of the description (just under the 'enter your description' title at the top of that page are 3 tabs - click on html view).
To add the photo, copy its URL (you can do this by right clicking on the photo and selecting 'copy image location'), then in the html view in Turbo Lister put <img src="put url here"> replacing put url here for the actual URL, and then go back to the normal description page. You should be able to see the picture already.
Let me know if this isn't clear and I'll elaborate

I use paint shop pro and put a few pictures on a new background save it as jpeg and resize it. Then put it on e-bay as one picture for free.
