I finally figured out how to list multiple pics on ebay!

I have seen some auctions that have 20 pics or more, or larger than what ebay allows under their picture hosting and could never figure it out until today.

I know this is not a big deal to most but I am happy to have finally solved the riddle.

By the way if you do this ebay dosen't charge for super sized pics or additional pics. All you pay is the .25 cent listing fee

We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

  • Please explain folks. Lets say I have a bunch of pics on photobucket. How do I put them in my ebay auction and just pay the listing fee?

    Copy the html link and paste it into your item description. I do it all the time w/out any problems.


    1. Check the boxes of the pics you want to use from photobucket
    2. Go to the bottom and click on "Generate HTML and IMG code"
    3. Highlight the text in the box at the top of the screen.
    4. Copy and paste into your ebay item description box.

    I am not very good at explaining but I will give it a shot



    1.If you use Photobucket check mark the pictures that you want in your auction

    2. Next click on “Generate HTML and IMG code located at the bottom right hand corner of the screen

    3. Next you will see “HTML images for ebay, live journa, My space, etc” Left click your mouse and highlite everything listed, Right click to copy. It should look something like this:

    .<center>
    <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/bunker9603/1972-SLincolnobvrev.jpg">


    <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/bunker9603/1972-sKennedyrevcolor.jpg">


    <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/bunker9603/1972-SKennedyrevcam.jpg">


    <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/bunker9603/1972-SKennedyobvrevcolor.jpg">


    </center>

    4. When you are listing on ebay paste this info into the description use a <P> to separate your text from your pictures.

    Just remember that PBucket has a bandwidth limitation on their free account. For the uninitiated, that means basically the size and number of photos times the number of times accessed (by ppl looking at your auction).

    Their paid service has unlimited bandwidth, if you post a lot of auctions I'd recommend it. If you use too much of their bandwidth they'll disable your account and a message from PBucket will replace the image...

    Edited for bas speling image

    Thats a good point. I paid the $25.00 dollars for the one year subscription so I wont have to worry about that. I figure I will save that much not paying ebay for supersized pics and additional pics.

    Okay....ready? Copy this and paste it into a "Notebook" file:

    <img src= http://www.tech-line.com/hockit/ba1.JPG >
    <img src= http://www.tech-line.com/hockit/ba2.JPG >

    See them filenames right after the "<img src=" see em?

    or.......

    <img src=image>

    See the smiley? Just put your filename from whatever storage service you use right where the smiley is.

    Then tack that on to your description of item and post it to ebay in the description area.

    Presto.....pictures. Just repeat as many times as you want pictures.

    Make sure you got them < and > at the beginning and end.

    Never used Photobucket but Imageshack has the direct link as the last choice of what you want to use.

    I don't think it knows whether a bunch of queries are coming in for those images as each is a direct link to another image.

    No need for multiple image fees. Course I use my ISP's space for ebay usually as I like to have the choice of when to take the pictures down and Imageshack keeps em forever.
