Hosting your own photos and images for your Ebay listings is easier than you may think.

Use an image editing program (A free one is Paint, go to Start Run and type in "mspaint.exe" without the quotes then hit return) to edit and resize your product and auction images.

Sign up to a free hosting service such as Flickr (In Flickr if you already have a Yahoo email address, you dont need to sign up, just use your credentials)

Sign in to Flickr

In a seperate window or tab open up your "Under construction" Ebay listing (I use Dreamweaver to create listings, but beginners will use Ebay to construct listings)

In Flickr, click on "You" at the top then "Upload photos to Flickr". Click on "Choose photos" then browse, highlight (Hold down control then click on each if you dont want to highlight whole batches) the images, then click on "Upload Photos". Once they are uploaded click on "Add to description", now click on your first image then click on "All sizes". Once you get the image up Right>Click on it and choose "Copy"

Go into your Ebay listing, click on the location you want the image, then either hold down Ctrl then V similtaniously or Right-Click on your mouse and choose "Paste".

Go back to your Flickr page and click on the Back button twice to go back to the gallery of the photos you just uploaded.

Repeat the clicking-on-the-photos-and-choose-all sizes, copy and paste into your ebay listing and clicking back twice each time!

Cheers!
