What is the secret to uploading multiple photos for a listing?

[thesquirrelsden]

So I attended the eBay Open and was convinced to create a store on eBay in addition to my website. As I am trying to upload photos that I had already taken for my online store, I cannot seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. I have tried my tablet, phone and laptop and can only upload one picture at a time. I have tried holding the Ctrl and Shift button but it gives me an error that states I can not upload more than one at a time. 

Please enlighten me with your wisdom 😉

I'm not sure how you store your pics, but I can share with you what I do.

My pics are stored on my Laptop.  When I am creating a listing, I will click on the first picture slot it will automatically pop into my picture file.  I highlight the pics I want, hit enter and they start loading onto the listing.

Now my pics are clustered together by the name of the book I sell or the name of the craft supply, so they appear one after the other in my picture files on my computer.

This should work the same way on a laptop.  I hope this makes sense.

Thank you for your help! With having over 2,000 pictures, I had them on my phone which was plugged into my laptop and it wouldn't work. I downloaded them to my laptop and it worked. What a pain. You would think in this day and age you would easily be able to select multiple from a phone.

Glad you were able to get it to work for you.  Your phone will likely run faster without all those pics on it too.

If you are on and Android Phone or Tablet (I am not sure if it works the same with Apple products)

Hit the + sign in the listing

Press and Hold down the first picture you want to upload.

It will put a number 1 next to it

you can then tap on the rest of the pictures to select them all

Tap "Upload" when finished

Multi Select
