I used to use auctiva so I could get more than one photo up for free. What to use now as auctiva is not free anymore?

THanks for help.

    I just use flickr. The code you need is printed under your photos on flickr and I just copy and paste it into my auction page.

    I used to use Picasa but as large pics are now free and above the fold I just upload into ebay as normal now.

    The photo's may be hosted by a free image hoster such as Photobucket .They will provide the HTML links for the photo's.

    When making the listing use the HTML option in the selling form or Turbo Lister.

    To help with using HTML there are free templates for ebay here, www.erns-eporium.co.uk/templates.htm

    Alternately there is a free custom template form here, www.erns-eporium.co.uk/custom.htm

    Recent posts suggest all photos are free on ebay at present, including super size.

    If so, you may as well host them direct on ebay.

    What even if you want to post more than one photo? I usually put several photos on my auctions, but I have only been given the first one free so always host the rest on flickr.

    They've been free since June, up to 12 per listing, including supersize, which is why I no longer host them on Picasa and then C&P the html across.

    Excellent, thank you very much everyone. Haven't listed anything in ages, probably why I didn't know about the free photos. 12 should do fine. :)

    Are they free - all 12 ? - my ebay sell page still quotes 12p per photo after the initial free one ?
