•    Much better and clearer pictures  

•   Add as many pictures as you want in each auction  

•   Lower costs - as little as zero    

•   Placement can be made anywhere within your description      

•   Add additional pictures when you have bid(s)      

•   No eBay software downloads required     

•   Picures can be removed upon close of auction
