The easiest way to upload photos

After I fill in some information and details about my item listing using my desktop,  I use my home wifi ebay phone app to upload my photos to my desktop listing to complete one listing. 

 

But this seems cumbersome because after I upload the photos with my phone app, I have to come out of my phone app ebay listing and then continue with my desktop ebay listing.  I am doing two steps instead of doing one for a listing.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

The easiest way to upload photos

Do you mean there is no autoplay when you plug it in?

I have a Windows computer and I bypass autoplay. I access my device by going to "My Computer" to look for attached memory devices (local disk, floppy, CD, camera, phone). When I open the attached device, newer iphones will ask if I want to grant the computer permission to look into my phone, and I agree (my older ipad doesn't ask).  The files are then displayed and I can drag all of the recent files to my computer.

The easiest way to upload photos

I Don't have a smart phone, so I use my digital camera to load on to my computer, and from there to the listing. But it seems like it always takes a lot of time to upload pictures, because I do a lot of photos on just 1 item. Which is really what you are suppose to do even though some Sellers are just lazy. Which I am to but I still put a lot of photos on there. If someone comes up with a really simple way I would like to know. I just could not use a little bity phone to look at. I need a big monitor.

The easiest way to upload photos

I use my ipad to take photos, but I take the photos for everything at once. Then I plug the ipad USB umbilical into my desktop and transfer the photos by dragging the set from the phone folder to appropriate product folders on my computer. Then delete from ipad/phone. That way, the photos are always on my computer should there be issues on eBay later on.  I can quickly scroll through all the photos on my desktop to make sure they are clear and respresent what I want to show. If there are bad photos, I can delete them, shoot more, and move them to my computer. If necessary, I can crop and rotate in my desktop photo

editing program.

 

This would be an economical technique for sellers who prefer to process their photos a bit.

 

When creating a listing, the photo uploader allows me to select a whole group to transfer from my computer to eBay, and I can focus on creating the listings instead of breaking away to shoot more photos.

My phone does not connect to my desktop computer for some reason.  My desktop computer does not recognize my phone when using the usb to connect.

I just tried it my phone with Windows 10, and it works.  It's been awhile since I tested it about six months ago.

 

Thanks.
