    Just a thought, but do you have any popup blockers installed on your PC? (google toolbar etc.) This might cause you problems.

    Hi there,

    you might want to sign up to this website, its free and easy to use:

    http://www.auctionpix.co.uk/api/user.php

    Once you've signed up you can upload your pics to there server then when you sell something on ebay just copy and paste the picture onto your auction!

    And you dont have to pay the eBay picture fees this way! :T

    hope that helps, let me know if you have any problems! :j

    I thought that you got one picture FREE, you only have to pay if you want it listed in the gallery page.

    Is this right?

    this week I loaded my first auction manually for ages (normally use a listing site). It was a bloody nightmare to get the photo loaded. I managed eventually, can't remember how but it was not easy. Keep pressing buttons until you gry a table with balnk spaces for photos then u can download em. Think it required an active X control to be downloaded. Sorry I am not being more helpful.
