I am trying to place more than one pic in my listing w/o using ebay photo services where they make you pay after one pic. I am using a free image hosting service but have been unable to list more than one pic like I used to be able to do. Thought maybe I was using the wrong html coding. Any input would be appreciated.
Has anyone else noticed that the *view sellers other auctions* has been down most of the day?

Cut and paste the photo HTML's of all your pictures into the "Description" box on the listing form. Cut & paste the HTML of your last photo in the HTML space of the form so that it will trigger the little camera icon next to the item in search.

I don't believe I made myself clear in the last post. Do this:
Type your description, then in the same box:
<P> (for paragraph)
<HTML of first picture>
<HTML of second picture>
Then paste the HTML of the third picture in the HTML box provided on the ebay form.

After your description words, put your pix, but for HTML you will need;
<IMG SRC=http://photoURL.jpg>
you need the IMG SRC=

I noticed an odd thing. I put one picture in my auction using the url from my own webspace. I put this in the description section, not in ebay's picture box section. In the regular picture area I added a cleardot picture so I'd get the camera icon. My picture from the description section still showed up in an IPIX box on the auction. WHY!? I didn't use Ebay's picture service!!
When I add multiple pictures within my description, nothing ever appears in an IPIX box, so I thought it was odd when I put in one picture using the same method, that it appeared in IPIX. Any ideas?

Try stitching your pictures together.
I do, then I put the address in there space they have provided. You can stitch together and use as many pictures as you want.

Packer...I'm not sure what you mean by stitching my pictures together. I did use the html <img src=http://www.mypichost.com/members/userid/photo.jpg> and still doesn't work in the description box. Works fine in the box they give us for pic, but doesn't seem to work in description box. Not sure why.

To stitch your pics together you need a photo editing program. I have PhotoStudio It came with my Mavica. It allows me to crop and resize as well.
Do you have a program that resizes and crops your pics? If you do check and see if you can also "stitch" them together.

I think you need to put quotation marks on that address.. right before http, and at the end after jpg. Try it.
<img src="http://www.mypichost.com/members/userid/photo.jpg">

I can try that, Jema, but I doubt that's the problem since the html I used works when I place it in the box that ebay supplies for pics, but doesn't work in the description box, but I will try it.
Packer, now I know what you're referring to. Yes, I can stitch my pics. Forgot I could do that. Thanks.

I had the exact same problem and the quotation marks fixed it. Using ebay's picture box and putting pics in the description are two different things and may not work the same way. I think ebay is having some listing problem right now, but try it, I think it will work.
