As the error message said, you can't use .gif images in the gallery, you have to use ,jpg. The .gif and .jpg deal is the three letters at the end of the filename, called the extension, that identify the type (internal coding and formatting, computer language stuff) of image it is. In order to use the image you're trying to use, you need to convert it to a .jpg. Not as simple as renaming it with the extension eBay wants. You'll need to go into an image editting program, like PhotoShop, and change it.
BTW, this is the Yahoo! forum, not eBay, might want to post eBay questions in the eBay forum next time. You'll probably get more help there.
