Posting large sums of pictures in the description using HTML

[moreland_revenue_stamps]

I have been trying to figure out how to add over 100 pictures to the description.  I see other sellers doing this but I can't figure it out.  I have tried JPEGbay, it works up to 100 pictures.  However, for full size pics, it takes you back to their site to view each one.  This method is too time consuming for buyers to navigate.  I am looking for my buyers to be able to scroll through my description to see all the images.

I sell stamps.  I have whole albums of collections that I wish to list.  Each album is over 100 pages, up to 175 or more.   

Thanks to anyone in advance!

Perhaps one long video instead, hosted on YouTube and with a graphic link in the ebay description?

Thanks for the reply!  I hadn't thought of this, but it may be an option.  I prefer to have pics, however; this would be easier to make.

   Are you sure you want to add that many photos to each item description?

   About 23 years ago I liquidated a massive stamp collection successfully with only 5 or 6 random photos of the best parts of each album to give potential buyers a flavor of what they can expect... without boring them with an overkill of photos. It was very successful and saved my hind end from a lot of time, expense and trouble, too.

Cheers, Duffy

I go here:

You can make an album, put all the pictures for one listing in there, go into the album and it will print you an HTML image source list for you to copy into your description. I add the tag (width="800) to each picture so they're not too big.

I don't do this often, but once in a while I get an album I want to post pictures of and there's more than 24 photos in total.

Fantastic answer!  Thank you!  I previously scanned images from a small lot with 31 pages.  I don't know where to add the (width=*800) as my HTML is very rusty, indeed!  However, when I chose "HTML - Medium Linked", It gave me two images, side-by-side, which works great for me now.  It's also a lot easier to add the width to every image (which I would still like to know for more valuable lots).

I made a typo... the line is

width="800"

You'd put it after <img src="image.jpg" width="800">

It doesn't have to be 800, just giving you a tip to resize. You would have to edit the HTML after copying it into your listing (from the album). I just don't like my photos filling the screen and being huge when I want my buyers to see the entire page being offered.
