Add Unlimited Pictures To Your Ebay Auctions For Free

Well ebay fees are beginning to get ridiculously high. I try and save every dime I can when I list an item on ebay. Did you know you can list as many pictures on each listing for free? That's right, plus you can list as many pictures as you want for each listing. Why pay extra fees to list some pictures on your listings? You don't have to if you do the following.
First, you have to have a place to host the pictures. "Hosting pictures" is just a term used to say, you have a picture saved online somewhere. You can host pictures just about anywhere for free nowadays. If you have an internet service provider(ISP), they probably gave you some free space to host pictures or files. I would recommend hosting pictures with your ISP, as it is usually more convenient. It's fine if you didn't want to host pictures on your ISP. You could sign up for a free service like geocities.com or photobucket.com. They are just a few places that will let you host pictures for free.

Okay, now you have a place to host your pictures. List all the pictures you need to list on your auctions at the place you are using to host pictures. Now all you need to do is post the HTML code for a picture into your ebay auction description. The HTML code for a picture is Just copy and past that code into your ebay description where ever you want the picture to appear. Replace the web domain with the web domain your picture is hosted on.

You can do little things like center the picture on the auction page. For instance if you want to center the picture you would put this code.


If you use this trick to post pictures into your ebay auctions, you will have more control over your pictures. Your pictures will be right there in the customers face. They won't even have to click on to the picture to see it like the ones ebay make you pay for. You can have the control of putting the picture anywhere in your auction page, not just on the bottom of the page. You see, ebay is making you pay extra for pictures that you don't even have control over.

Why pay for extra pictures when you can do it for free with full control over them? HTML can do a lot for your ebay auctions. Ebay fees are so expensive now, you can't survive unless you use every trick possible to save when listing your auctions. I never got why ebay hasn't changed their picture system. They give you little exposure and you have to pay for them. But, I am very happy ebay hasn't changed the way their picture system is on their auction listings. Or we wouldn't be able to have free pictures anymore.

People that are new to ebay are not expected to know this information. Ebay probably counts on new people not knowing this trick. So they pay for ebay to host pictures and don't think about it. Ebay has to be making money on hosting pictures, or they would have changed this policy. The truth is, we pay enough already for auction fees. Most of the veteran ebay sellers know this trick and use it everyday.

If anyone has any questions or needs any help using this method to get free pictures on your ebay listings, just ask me. I would hate to see anyone pay high auction fees on ebay if they don't have to. You can use this trick anywhere HTML is accepted, not just on ebay.
