The difficulty with posting on the eBay forums is with including photos. As best as I can figure out, you have to have your own web site or have photos stored on a web site. Putting photos on Vendio is super-simple. I don't have a web site but do have photos on Vendio. Am I missing an easy way to put photos on the eBay forums? Folks say html is easy to learn but I am clueless. One reason why I appreciate Vendio's service...easy for folks like me!

blue - if you have posted your image to vendio you can post on ebay. To get the html, find the image and click on the box to "attach", when the attach screen comes up, indicate "other auction" site and then "get html". You can copy the html until you come to .JPG" and then close with a ">".
For example this would be how it would look:
<p><center><img src="http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/YOURUSERNAME/YOURIMAGENAME.jpg">

The vase is reminiscent of Frankoma pottery, to me. You might nose around a little in that category.

Blueyes, Am I missing an easy way to put photos on the eBay forums?
Yes, you are. I'm not very computer literate either, but by uploading pictures to PHOTOBUCKET.COM, it's easy to include pictures on the eBay forums.
Once loaded on Photobucket, they appear in boxes. Each box has several ways to use the photos. I found the easiest way for me is to place a checkmark in the box above the photos that I want to use, scroll to the bottom of the page, to a box that says Please select action, and choose Generate HTML and IMG code. You then left click on the top box, which will highlight the contents, right click on the contents and copy them. From there it's just a matter of inserting them anywhere in the eBay inquiry that you want.
Uploading them to Photobucket is as easy as uploading to Vendio. If you get stuck, someone on the board will guide you thru it, but you shouldn't have any trouble.

Thanks Roadsmith, definetly not Frankoma. It is not mine, but something I came across while surfing ebay.
The imprint appears European or early (1900's) American craftsman. I think it is a sleeper, but it may just continue to snooze since I haven't made much progress ID'ing it.
