i even try and load on photobucket but that is not uploading either

anyone got any tips on best way bout this

what size and what dimensions photos do you upload?
bear in mind that Photobucket has a max size as do most free photo hosting sites. PB is also very slow some days.

resize with PS or similar will help. you can resize dimensions without reducing quality too much.

I was pleased to find that http://www.auctiva.com/Default.aspx offers free hosting/templates/scheduling.

i take pictures with my nokia 6300 (2 megapixel) and resize with an image viewer to 520x390 size which i find a perfect size for ebay, not too big or too small

on ur camera have you got the picture quality set to the lowest setting? they still come out much better than on a point and shoot camera - also open the pic up in Paint on your PC and reduce the size to 25% and save they will be a much better size for uploading

I would download a free reszing tool from the likes of download.com, there are loads of free ones out there and it's just a matter of which one suits you.

It's much easier if you get one that can resize batches of pictures, if I remember the one I used to use then I'll post the link up here for you.

Photos can be resized for use on Ebay. Resizing can be done with The Gimp photo editor which is free and can be down loaded from www.gimp.org

Doesn't a MAC have it's own image manipulation package built-in? If not change the resolution/quality on the camera for taking these shots. RTFM.

AFAIK, photobucket automatically resizes. It does take a while for my pics to upoad... but then mine are about max 2mb each. Are yours a lot bigger? It would take ages for multiple pics to upload, doesn't mean that PB isn't working... just swamped
