Photos on Ebay when selling

Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to use photos on your listing without paying .

I have only ever used Ebay to host my pictures and therefore pay their fees.

I would love to use more pictures but too expensive

    Brilliant , thanks so much :beer: ,

    Now looking for some sort of design to use as the background to my auctions. Is there anyway I can do this without using Ebays services ?

    Also can I add a signiture to the picture to put off people copying the photos.
  • Do you mean a border, or a background picture where the text goes on top?

    I pointed out this last week on a thread asking how to watermark pics:
    http://www.snapfiles.com/get/umarklite.html

    It's tiny and very easy to use.

    The first time I tried, I kept getting errors. But I found that you have to select output to a different folder than the original is in. Haven't had a problem since.

    you could try using spoonfeeder its a program that does it all for you it costs around £10.

    There is a cd on ebay and a trial version available if you google it. It will load lots of pics to ebay for free and there is not so much fiddling around.
    I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...

    or you could use any pic editor and add text to pic like your user name

    Yes I do , can you do something original and then use it on your auctions.etc.


    Thanks everyone for getting back to me. I will give it all a go and hopefully only have to pay for the listings and final selling fee.
