adding pictures to a classified car ad

Ok, last time i sold a car on ebay, you just clicked a button to browse the photos on your computer, and uploaded the ones you wanted.

Well now apparently tney want a web address? And you have to use a picture hosting site? Ok, no panic. I uploaded my pics to dropbox, this gave me an option of a web address for the pic, which i cut and pasted into the relevant box on the listing (https://www.dropbox......etcetc), only ebay is saying that is not a valid value? It also says to include more pics use html in my main listing?????
No idea!

Anyone know what the heck i'm supposed to do? Do ebay want my business or what?

Oh, and in their 'help' section, all it says is this...'in the “Picture Web address” field, enter the Web address (URL) of your picture. That picture will be displayed in your listing.' Yeh, well thats what i did and it doesnt work!

Thanks

Olias

    You should still be able to do that. You've either hit a glitch or need to clear cache & cookies and try again.

    The system defaults to using a URL however there is a tab on the upload page where you can change it to the old upload system.
