Pulling out my hair--help me put a Jpeg picture onto my E bay listing!!

This is my first ever attempt at selling via ebay. I have spent the last 2 hours trying to move pics from Jpeg onto my e bay listing (I believe the pics are free that way?). I have tried following Jpegs own tutorial;-It doesn't bear much resemblance to what I'm seeing on the screen-I'm using Firefox. I've set up the Jpeg account,and have uploaded the pictures. I just cannot work out how to get those pictures onto my listing. I'm losing the will to live now.....any help much appreciated. I chose Jpeg as I understand its easier than Photobucket ????????

    I use photobucket as well as you get an HTML code and it drops straight in if you change the listing to HTML.

    I'm completely non techie- that shows how easy it must be via photobucket

    Another good alternative is Imageshack, they're also pretty easy to use and have a standalone "Picture uploader" software, which gives you HTML links.

    well, I think that I have finally got the item on(thanks again to all that helped). I think that it has taken about 5 hours and may make me £2............and Ive just handed in my notice..................

    Well, 40 pence an hour is a start, anyway ;-)

    I use JPEGbay.com you upload your pictures onto their site, copy & paste the HTML code. In the description part of your ebay listing switch to HTML, paste the code, then click back to standard & Bob's your Uncle.
  • I use https://www.tinypic.com, it's so easy you wouldn't imagine

    WE are trying to use a third party host to get round the charges for using more than one picture on categories where only one pic is free. If you are just uploading one then it is easy to just upload from your hard drive.
