question about photos in eBay

[Muttocracy]

I just found out about this DU forum and hope someone can help.

I haven't bought or sold anything on eBay in a little over a year, and it seems a lot of things have changed, and their help is less helpful.

Is there a way to post multiple photos without paying extra? I swear I used to be able to post many photos as long as they were stored on a different website, and I would just put the link in. I don't remember if it was just the link or I did it as a <a href...> or <img src...> tag.

Before I bang my head against the wall on this anymore, I figured I'd ask whether eBay doesn't allow this anymore?

edit to add - I found this on the help, but it doesn't look like it's working in the preview? :dunce:

2. a gallery might work since I'm using PhotoBucket

I'm new to Photobucket too so we'll see if I can figure this out. Thanks!

The item is an old movie projector I found, so it definitely needs several photos.

I think part of this is every time there's a snazzy wizard to use in software it drives me nuts. Looks like eBay tried to get all fancy in the last 18 months x(

3. If you figure out how to create folders on photobucket

post the instructions here, please!

I have tried, but not accomplished at it yet.
(haven't tried too hard...I want it all to come so inuitively and easily..hah! :eyes: )

4. I think it's "add a new album" at the left when you first log in

I put a few things for DU in a separate album (folder elsewhere in the world) when I set it up a few months back.

Of course, for all the eBay photos I just uploaded to my general directory, it only let me move the files one at a time into an eBay album which took me forever. I hope next time I can upload them straight into an album.

I'm doing better with eBay. After my frustration I found a link at the bottom of the wizard to get more options and now it looks more like eBay of a few years ago. :D

edit to add - and it was reading my HTML tags as text before so < looked like & l t ; or whatever its HTML code is.
