Answer 1

If your pictures are in files or have numbers,go to ebay and the site directs you how to download your pictures.It will let you browse or go to the file you need.Its not too difficult, honest!If you make a mistake,just close the window and start again.

You'll have to set up a Paypal account, if you don't already have one. This usually takes a few days to set up.

Once that's all set up, you just log in and you'll see in the upper right hand corner, it says: "Sell" in the pull-down menu.

Ebay pretty much runs you through everything step by step and you just answer the questions. By the time that you've answered all the questions, your item will be ready to list.

They will ask you things like: "what are you selling"? Price? etc.

There is a selling tutorial that would be good to run through. It's at this link:

They also have live help too right at the home page.  Upper right hand corner, you'll see a little icon that says "Live help" If you click on this, a window will open up and you'll get a person to text back and forth through their little help box.

You were asking about how to upload photos specifically, when you're in the sell section and you've started the process of listing your item, you will come to a part where it will ask you to "Upload photo".  It will have a browse button. You have to know where your photo is located on your computer. The easiest way is to just put your photo into your "Pictures" file on your computer. When you click on "browse" button, it will take you to your own personal files on your computer. Computers vary somewhat in filing systems but generally, it's double clicking on "documents" and then "Pictures" and then when you see the right photo that you want to feature, doube click on your photo and the upload process will start. It usually takes a few minutes to upload and it will list the picture when you're done and/or give you a message saying that it's done. If you want more than one picture, then you just go on to the next area where it says browse and add an additional photo (I think you pay extra for this though).

The photo will automatically show an enlarged version of the photo when potential buyers click on it. If you want a supersize, than you have to pay extra for this feature. It's not really necessary in most cases though. As long as you have a nice, clear image that is cropped well, it should be okay without the supersize.

Also, you'll have to know the amount that you're going to charge for shipping and/or know the weight and dimensions of the parcel to punch in. so that can be calculated for you. Some people just put "Contact Seller" for shipping charges but most people prefer to see the shipping charges clearly listed. If it's down to the last few minutes of the bidding and people have to contact you to find out what you're going to charge for shipping, they most likely won't bid. So always list the shipping whenever possible.

I think that the tutorial should be really helpful for you. Sometimes certain features are hard to find on ebay but they do have a lot of tutorials and helpful hints etc. Both Ebay and Paypal have people that you can contact if you go to the "Help" menu during their business hours.

Answer 3

When you click on the Sell tab, on the next page that comes up you'll see two options -  Quick Sell and Advanced Sell.

If your going to use Quck Sell:

Click on that 'radio button', then Continue.

On the next page, when you get to section 3 click on the Add Photo button (use the one that says free - you can add more but each additional one will cost).

A new window   called Add a Photo - will open, then click on the Browse button.  Use that to find the photo on your computer (probably in your documents, your pictures or wherever you put it).  

When you've located it, click on the name/title/file name and you'll see it's then added to the Add a Photo box - click on the Upload button and that's it.

If you're going to use Advanced Sell, it's very much the same although it looks now as though you have to install eBay Picture Uploader (this is done automatically).
