Adding images to your eBay listings for FREE is quite easy to do, first thing to do is open a photobucket account. You can do this at:

photobucket. Once you have a free account, you can upload photos and images to albums that you create - see Photobucket for how to. When you have uploaded images you want to use in your listing, you need to get the HTML code for the pictures. You get this from below the picture. Highlight the code for the picture then copy it ready to paste into your listing. You might want to paste it into a Wordpad document to keep until you need it then copy & paste it from there.

When you type in your item description on ebay - stop typing at the point you want to insert an image then click the HTML tab. Copy and paste the images HTML code at the end of the code where you finished typing. If you want the image to appear in the center of your description, type

after the item description code then copy and paste the picture code.

You can resize pictures to suite your listing on Photobucket. To add more text, click the Standard tab and carry on typing your description.

You can dry-run your listing on ebay and play around with the coding, positioning etc. Insert your text and image codes then preview how your listing will appear to see if you like it. If you don’t like it simply delete it.

Another way to add photos is to use an ebay template. You can get them free online. One site that supplies free templates is onlineauctiontrader

With an ebay template, you can type in your item description and add image HTML. You will be shown where in the template code to place your text and image codes

It’s all quite easy really once you’ve tried it. One word of warning though, if someone clicks on your Photobucket images, they will be taken to your Photobucket album so be sure not to have photos of a personal nature in that album. Create separate albums for different products.
