You do not have to pay to put extra photos in your Ebay listing if you have somewhere to store your photos on the web. I have a webpage and store my Ebay pictures there. Ebay stores your first picture free and any additional images cost $$$. Therefore I post one picture with Ebay and use this one as the gallery photo. The rest are stored somewhere else free.
How to insert an image into an Ebay auction listing?
This is very handy for people who want to put more than one photo in an Ebay auction listing without forking out the extra dollars. Of course you can add pictures and extra images if you go to the section that says Bring your item to life with pictures, an press on the add pictures button. Then you have a choice to get the pictures from your computer or enter a url for them.
However I am going to show you how to add pictures into your listings, not into the gallery with all the rest…You can put pictures or logos in amongst the listing description.
When writing your Ebay listing you add this in your HTML:
< img src=”http://www.yoursite.com/image.jpg” >
Yellow = Where the image is stored on the internet
Green = The filename of the image
In my case it would look like this:
<img src=”http://www.tips4pc.com/images/100_0219_resize.JPG” >
Red = Where I store my images in my web.
To make you’re image a link do this:
<a href=”http://www.tips4pc.com”>
<img src=”http://www. tips4pc.com/images/100_0219_resize.JPG” ></a>
Blue = Shows the beginning and the end of the link.
Red = Where you will go when you click the image.
Yellow = Where the image is stored on the internet
Green = The filename of the image
To find the URL of an image, get on the internet, go to the page where the image is. Then right click on the image and choose properties from the menu. The exact URL will be there.
A great place to store images are at free image storage places which you can find by searching in Google. Another place is to create a free blog and store them there.

all the free hosting sites seem to require a membership, and when I link to them (testing a picture link) it requires sign on.
How do I get around that in my eBay listing, … or does this HTML approach get past the sign on requirement somehow?
Thanks!
This is great, but for some reason it’s not working for me.
You can insert more than one image into eBay for free now. Actually it’s more like about eight free pictures.
Thanks heaps for this post! I’ve been using ebay for ever and I never thought you could insert photos so easy and for free. This is awesome!
