Help With Ebay Photos

Hello have tried listing an item on ebay tonight. Have been relisting items for ages so haven't had to insert new photos, info etc.

I have come to sell a new item tonight and the selling format page seems to have changed slightly. I can input all the other relevant info but not insert any pictures. Should I be doing anything different than normal?

    The pictures are on a separate page, the one where you put your price and how long you want to sell it for.
    Hope this helps

  • wow that was a quick response - thanks!

    It gives me the impression that I am inserting a photo but as soon as i click on the 'down' arrow it loses it - hope that makes some sort of sense.

    Try again tomorrow- I think it's having a mood. It did that to me earlier, as well as other things like randomly going to the home page instead of the next page of the listing form.

    Hi tigger 115
    You can infact open a my space on msn, then upload you pictures there and then copy and paste them into the main body of your discription, thus avoiding addition fee for posting more than one photo. space is limited but its easy to do, just go to myspace.com and create your own page

    Good suggestion. I use Photobucket.com to host my photos, and Turbo Lister to use multiple free Photobucket photos easily in my eBay listings.
  • thanks for all your replies. Have tried again today and its still not letting me insert a photo. Now sorry to be really thick but is it simple to go onto photobucket and do it from there?

    It is straightforward to use an image hoster such as Photobucket. Upload the image to PB, they will then provide the url/address of the photo.

    When making the listing select add pictures and self hosting, then paste the url into the correct text area and continue with the listing.
