·2 years agoWhen creating as listing you upload your photos to ebay.
Ebay hosts your photos for you.
You don't need a photo hosting service.

·2 years agoOP got a lot of advice on their thread from earlier today:

Hopefully between the 2 discussions they have the info they need to solve their photo problem.

·2 years agoI'm not sure what you are wanting to do, but you have amazing items. I just looked and couldn't believe you had such nice things with only one or two photos, since ebay allows for 24 free. I didn't see any photos in the descriptions.

·2 years agoI stopped embedding photos when Photobucket got greedy. That was years ago, and I'm not sure who even allows that kind of linking these days. Agree that it makes sense to have images and text together, but eBay listing is complicated enough lately.
To OP, you have to get your pics from your camera to your computer or other device and then into your eBay listing. There's more than one way of doing it, but it's not hard once you get the hang of it.

·2 years agoThat's when I stopped using PB - $400/month was ridiculous. I used my own domain for a while but then stopped - one can link from any secure site one uses for hosting. I only embedded one photo, though, the rest with eBay hosting. With all of this rubbish all over our listings I contemplated starting to embed a photo again to give the description a bigger footprint, but haven't gotten around to creating photo hosting again.

·2 years agoI think they finally reduced the subscription price but not before they lost so many of us forever. (I did like the embedded images though.)

Ebay has a very good photo feature when you list. When you insert your photo, run your curser over the photo and you will see a little pencil to the left. Click on it and see if that can be more helpful, not to mention easier. It gives you a lot of features like brightness, contrast, sharpening, crop, back ground removal, etc.
As a photographer of many years, I found it to be very useful. I usually use Adobe 8.0, but this one is good too. Just a suggestion.
Happy Snapping and sales!

·2 years agoHere you go, although for the life of me I don't know why you use a hosting program:

·2 years agoSome sellers like to put photos in their descriptions. It seems superfluous but there is actually a good reason for it (though I no longer do it) - it's better marketing and more buyer friendly to have text and photos aligned rather than photos and text split apart, particularly with the ad stuffing eBay is doing now, which forces the buyer to swipe or scroll back and forth between photo and description - terrible design.
