How to use Photobucket pics on eBay?

leadoff4

Can someone help? I've never tried it but the Photobucket pics seem so much better than when I use eBay. I always use eBay's pic hosting. Is it easy?

"How to post a picture" has been bumped up.

It is an excellent guide.

PB can save you lots of money on EBAY fees.

If you want the picture to be in the middle of the page then type

<center>
<img src="url of your picture from photobucket">

here's one of my auctions, if you like how the pic looks that's how I do it.

If you don't care that it's centered then skip the <center>, also if you're going to type more under the pic then use </center> to put your print back to normal spacing.

Hope that helps, PM if you need more help

Thanks for the help again! Looks like I do have to pay the .15 for all extra pictures over the first free one, correct?

You do, but it's a waste of money. Use the 1 free pic in case you want to use the Gallery. I usually put all my extra pictures within the item description from photobucket. Either just copy the pictures and then paste them or use the html codes. All the extra features on ebay are a rip off. The picture enlargement is also a big joke. As in the example from jim, you can make your pictures huge and save that extra $2 from the pic enlargement and they look a whole lot better. Shows edges and corners very well.

I got my larger picture to come out clear, but the top one (the smaller one by the price) is blurry. How can I get that to be clear, too? Here's an example:

Does anyone know how, when using Photobucket, to have your smaller picture (up on top by the price) in eBay not appear blurry?

Thanks,

Mark, I think it's mainly an ebay thing and you have a tad bit of control over. The higher the resolution you use for your pics, the blurrier the pics (the small one on the upper left) will be. From my past experiences, anything over 150 DPI will give me a great picture within the description, but a chitty one on top. I don't sweat it, cos I don't think most people look at that little picture anyways.

I tried this, but my picture does not show on the Ebay preview when listing. I then tried to resize the photobucket picture size to 680x480 (and relink in to ebay), but it still would not show up.

Thanks for any help.

Go into the html-module on the listing page.

You can list the body copy and the pics there.

There are help pages in the A-Z index and on the
html page.
