Photobucket?

[chappie]

Do any ABers use Photobucket for eBay? I was reading a forum the other day and someone said you can keep your eBay fees low by using this.

I am new to selling on eBay and not very good with the computer. Is Photobucket easy to use for a beginner?

Thanks for replies.

Photobucket is very easy to use and free.

Download it from here:

http://photobucket.com/

The tutorial on the site is very good - but you just click 'browse' and the pictures on your computer will be displayed. Click the one you want and it will be added to your photobucket.

There is plenty of help and advice on the ebay forums.

You get 1 photo free when selling on ebay which is sufficient if you are selling something reasonably cheaply.

The more photos the better - and if they are free because you are using photobucket, go for it.

Many thanks. Is it easy to add it to your listing on eBay?

[Ethel]

Yes - it is easy. When you have the picture in your Photobucket there are three rows of characters underneath.

It is simply a matter of copy and pasting the top row for listing into the description part of the eBay listing. Remember though that as soon as you delete it from photobucket it will disappear from your listing.

I have nearly 300 pictures and animated gifs in my photobucket so it should not be a problem.

Thanks for that - I will give it a go.

Does the photo actually appear in the eBay listing, or does a link appear, which you have to click on, to see the photo? I tried to do it, but the photograph didnt appear on my eBay listing, just the name of it appeared. Wonder if I went wrong somewhere. Thanks for your help.
