EBay question--adding pics to auction with bids

Ahrensdad

Is it possible? I can't seem to do it in the edit/revise menu.

Thanks in advance.

.
there should be an additional section below the main one unless it is too close to auction end - i do with html mode. also turbolister allows some editing features

also you may be able to simply replace the existing image with the new one if you host your own images but will most likely need to do option number 1
.
just as a side note of curiosity, why do so many people come here for tech support for so many other sites instead of the site of inquiry where the most accurate tech support would be?

don't think you can once it has bids.

I've never been able to do it, at least.

Yes, you can't delete it but you can add it.

GMan

Use an image host like imgur.com and you can add them using html added to the item description.

Can't you use Photobucket and add them to the body of the auction?

I tried, but couldn't do it. I'll just have to take better pictures the first time in the future.

If you host images, you can always re-make an image in the body of the listing. For instance, suppose you want to add a second obverse image. Make a new picture file that is a combination of the two photos you want to use, and then replace the existing obverse file on your web host with the new file that has two images merged together.

I should add that I'm not sure if my method is "legal" but it does work.

yes. click on the html tab for the ebay decription and paste the image's html code where you want it in the description. Placing <CENTER> before and after the pasted html link will center the picture in the description. You can use this to place unlimted free, high resolution pictures right into the item description.

HTML or DIRECT LINK?

I use Direct Link when putting photo's in the body of my listings.

I think I can add them after bids have been placed as well but can't say for sure.

direct link only inserts a clickable link to the picture at it's source on photobucket? The html code i refer to inserts a copy of the actual pic into the description.

In photobucket click on the "share" button over one of your pics and you will see all of the "link" options.

working with html is unforgiving. Whenever working with it in the ebay description "html" tab always check your results by viewing in the "standard" tab. If it didn't work right best to exit revising the listing and coming back in and trying again. Also it is easier if you just paste your pic html link at the top of the description while in html tab and then switch to standard tab to cut and paste wording to get pic where you want it. Also use the toolbar to flush right and copy that might have become centered by mistake. You can center the two pics on the page with <CENTER> before the first pic link and after the second pic link.

Here's an ebay example of using pic html links in the description block

Here's what it looks like in the ebay description html tab:

Thank you all. I think my issue is I was trying to make changes with about 24 hours to go.

While changes can not be made with 24 hours to go, it if is between 12 and 24 hours a seperate description block will open to allow you to ADD (but not modify) to your listing.

derryb, that's about the best I could do, however it would not accept additional pics. I ended up posting the link to the updated pics and will hope for the best. Thank's everyone for your help.
