  • Hello,

    YOu could host some of your pictures on photobucket.com then use the appropiate link on your listing, but they always come through big so you;'ll have to resize.

    Re templates, there are places to get free ones but it's that long since I;ve done ebay, can't remember where to find them

    I list through auctiva.com - very straightforward & you can add about 10 pictures [from memory] for free.

    Be careful about having too many pictures. If an auction is to slow to load you might lose bidders who just can't be bothered to wait.

    I use Auctiva it's really good and free. You can add loads of photos all free and it has loads of templates to choose from also free. The Auctiva photo uploader also resizes your photos automatically so they are not too slow to upload.

    oh fab thanks, i wish youd have replied a little earlier ive just tried photo bucket and had to resize all the pics :-) haha. i shall have a look on auctiva and see if i can work out how its all done. im a little lost now i usually only have a few pics but i have 26 of the baby items in this listing and i will have around the same for about 10 more listings i have to do.

  • Another way is to put several images into one picture by using paint or something. I do this when I dont really need to have loads of pics, like for selling knickers - I put the 2 pic's of the front and the back onto one pic then upload just that one, free and fast.
    Otherwise - Auctiva.

    It's under Pictures and Description - but DON'T use that area - that's the one that costs you money!

  • I edit all my pics in picasa (free from google) and then upload them to a picasa album.

    I then cut and paste the html code into the listing for size pictures I want.

    Works a treat and is so so simple.
