Please vote "yes" at the bottom of this guide.   I am also a seller on eBay and I am sharing my selling secrets with you.  Thanks!

Ever wonder how some sellers have so many photos in their listing and you think it must have cost a lot? 

You don't have to pay a single penny for photos if you type in some HTML code.  It looks like an alien language, but I'll give you the code and all you have to do is copy and paste!

 

First, sign up for a free photo service like photobucket and upload your photos there.

 

Then underneath your photo they have a link called "direct link".  Copy that link.

Second, when you are in eBay and get started on listing your item, type this in your description (make sure you are in HTML mode) exactly as it appears below in bold:

<img src=" then paste the direct link you copied from photobucket ">

Like this:

It will just look like gibberish when you do it, but when you save your listing and view it, it will look awesome!  It will look similar to this:

In the end, it should look something like this:

You are done!

You can do this for as many photos as you like!  This saves you money, makes your listing more enticing and increases your sales!

The best thing you can do is experiment and revise your listing if it doesn't work...  Now you can feel like a computer genius!

Common problems if it doesn't work: 

  • You typed it in wrong
  • You didn't do it in HTML mode and did it in standard instead

Please vote "yes" at the bottom of this guide.   I am also a seller on eBay and I am sharing my selling secrets with you.  Thanks!
