Ebay & loading photo's

MoreHPformyXR6 · 11-11-2006, 09:22 AM

Hi Guys

I havent sold anything on ebay for a while & I listed an item last night. (I noticed that they now have what they call an enhanced system to upload photo's) when I had used it a while ago photos would load but it took ages (but atleast it worked which is all im after). I tried to upload photo's using there enhanced system & basic system with no joy. I havent got any cookie blockers etc. I flicked them an email & it said allow upto 48 hours. Any handy hints?

yes, change all pics to jpeg if you haven't done it already and also change them to around 500x500 size and they should load quite fast.

just go through each step of Turbo Lister. take your time and click on the CHANGE buttons to fill in more info and ad pics.
i used it for the first time 2 days ago and didnt have any troubles (except the debit card had no money on it).

How can I use photobucket to add a photo to my ebay listing mate? I have an account with photobucket. (I only want to add the one free photo they allow)

you can upload pics off your own PC with ebay.
you dont need to host them if you are only using the 1 pic which is free.
if your using Turbo Lister, when you get to STEP 3 scroll down and where it says "CLICK HERE TO INSERT PICTURE"....click the BIG box.
then a screen will pop up (if it doesnt, adjust your pop up settings) with a heap of boxes saying "CLICK HERE TO INSERT PICTURE". click one of those boxes and it will allow you to open files on your PC to upload pics. choose your pic and click "INSERT". you should be able to figure it out from there.
hope this helps.

similar to the way you add them in here, in the description part you have to options

1. enter away
2. html. 2 parts to this as well

either no the code or find it out, or with dreamweaver or anyother web authoring tool make a web page then view the code then paste it in the html section.

(im heading off for a few days holiday but ill definently get some code up for everyone on tuesday i think i get back or even today after work if it have time.)

Nicholas, you say to change images to 500x500 size; how do you do this?

Thanks davway ended up using turbo lister as you suggested as it was free & I was able to load photo(s)

when you download images from your camera the photo editing software you use should have resise function on images tab, or just download freeware like Infranview as it is a fairly good editing software found under google search.

In the section where you enter the item description you can also put the links to your photobucket pics.
When the item is uploaded to ebay the pics will appear just the same as they do on the forums.
