    .....embed photos into ebay listings without using their uploader?

    I know it can be done because years ago a friend helped me, but I can't remember how :redface:

    This is one of my typical ebay listings; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400515641971

    I know I can upload ONE photo as my main photo for free, but I can't afford to put more up. As you can see in the listing, I always put "see more pics" and then have links below. Instead of links, I want the photos to show.

    Can anyone please help?? :love30:

        I use the same method as JWK suggests, get a free account on photobucket.com, upload your images there and copy/paste the direct image link into your description where you want your images to appear.

          You need to switch to the HTML code on ebay when you insert the images. So type your description as normal in the standard tab and then click the HTML tab at the top of the text box where you put your description in. Where you have the "<br><br>" is a break in the page. Use the HTML code on photobucket, copy and insert between the two "<br>". Then switch to standard view on the text box on ebay and your pictures should show up.

            thanks for that JJ. I didn't know about the page breaks.

            Seems that I can list video games and dvds with 12 free pics (when did that happen? lol). I don't know about other stuff though, so I need to master this HTML lark.
