Just spent 4 hours Creating a listing.... Help!!

Although you are allowed to post a link that redirects your potential buyers to a photohosting site, many buyers won't click outside links --- virus threats. So they will either hit the back button and buy from another seller or would rather see pictures embedded into the listing. Plus, it's easier for the buyer when the pics are right there and they don't have to take extra steps to view them.

IMO, you can't have "too many" pictures. Especially with pre-owned items, buyers need to know exactly what to expect. And in the event that you've shown all the flaws, should a buyer file SNAD, you can win that dispute by pointing out your pictures and description that fully disclose them.

As an example of a seller who posts wonderful listings showing every possible view of an item, this seller STILL gets feedbacks from people who haven't looked at all the detailed pictures. (But again, those disputes can be won when the evidence is shown!)

Note that it's not necessary to show this many pictures, but look at this listing.

Yes... I had not thought of the fact that some would be skittish due to viruses....

and yes.. Many will just look at the TOP of the listing.....

Thank you....

You are absolutely right...

I like her listing.....

I will see if I can figure out the HTML thing......

Even though I hate the new Photobucket it is still relatively efficient. Yes you may have to resize the photos. But you should be able to put an unlimited number of them in the body of the listing. Once you have edited and saved the photo they offer 4 link choices. Click on the one you need and it should highlight. copy paste into the body of the listing.

Thank you ALL so much for your help on this.....


OK... so I tried to copy and paste the HTML code on to my listing at the bottom....

when I click Preview .... NOTHING is happening.....

The Rest of my listing looks GREAT.....

Then at the bottom if looks like this....

Can you see what I am going wrong?????
I added parenthesis so that it would LOOK like like it does in my preview listing ....... and X'ed out my name

You need to remove the "ahref" section of code... this guide (not mine) explains it quite well - maybe that'll help ~ good luck! http://reviews.ebay.com/How-to-get-Photobucket-pix-embedded-in-listings-to-work?ugid=10000000010496689

You need to click the HTML tab and paste it there, below all the code gibberish. You probably pasted it in the Standard tab.

Just remember to click out of the HTML tab or your listing will look like gibberish when it posts.

Thank you soooooooo much for this! I really wanted to add more photos, but had forgotten how to do the HTML coding, and this helped me TONS! Now I can have more than 12 photos (muhahaha) on ebay and more than a measly 6 on Bonanza. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just hope my pages don't load too slowly, as I like to put up large photos so people can zoom in to their heart's desire.
