I'm sorry i didn't want to waste time writing it out if nobody was going to read it. Please appreciate i am new to this.

You can host your pictures by choosing one of the sites you are greeted with when you type in 'free image hosting' in search engines.

Each has different benefits so it's up to you to choose. I use photobucket.com and it's very good.

From there you can upload the pictures you want to have in your listings. Once this is done you will be given it's http address [e.g http://etc etc]

Then when you create a new listing in eBay you can edit the description in HTML form by click the 'HTML' tab next to the 'Standard' tab. You can now place the picture in the listing by using a very simple HTML 'TAG'.

No real need to know what this is..it just takes the following format...

You type this exactly [apart from the address of your recently uploaded photo]

<img src="your image address is pasted in here">

You have to include the quotes too.

You can center the image by placing the center tag before the tag like this..

<center> <img src="your image address is pasted in here">

There are other options with the tag like size of photo etc and you can find these on most html tutorials.

Hope that is pretty clear..if not let me know and i can work through one with someone.

Thanks

Chris
