Pictures within a listing question...

AlTeREgO

Morning.

I have quite a few items to sell, unfortunately they will require plenty of photos per listing but at 12p per picture it gets expensive :eek:

Could someone kindly share how to add pictures to the actual listing in the discription?
or share a link to a tutorial please

Thank you - AE

Just google pictures in eBay listings... There's lots of info including guides by eBay members.

The easiest way is to upload all your pictures to a site like Photobucket (you can sign up for free if you haven't already got an account).

Then, when you create your listing, format all the text you want using the default editing mode, and then change over to HTML mode - by doing this, any formatting such as font colour, bold etc will get converted to HTML code. Then, within Photobucket, under each photo are links that you can copy and paste into your listing. Just copy all the links you want and preview your listing to check the photos all appear.

This way you can add as many photos as you like for no cost.

As melliott1963 says, first just upload your pictures - photobucket / tinypic / imageshack.us etc...

This is a good website for the basics, but the easiest way is to create your listing as normal and then change to HTML view to add the following;
<img src="PUT YOUR PICTURE LINK HERE">
or you can do more advanced options (this will create a small picture that your buyer can click on to get the full-size photo, size can be altered to suit);
<a href="PUT YOUR PICTURE LINK HERE">
<img border="0" src="PUT YOUR PICTURE LINK HERE" width="32" height="32"></a>
