When writing about your item, switch tabs in the item description box to HTML - you can then insert a link from photobucket or similar. I do this and it works a treat, is dead easy and free!

I have a photobucket account, so will give you the guide assuming you have photobucket.

Make sure you have 2 internet browsers open - one with ebay running and the other with photobucket running


Begin creating your ebay listing. Insert the free photo into the gallery box and once down to the 'describe the item you are selling' box you can then write some jargon in there describing your item. Every time you want to put a photo in with the writing, then simply click on the tab just above your description labelled HTML. Every thing looks complete gobbledygook, but if you only click on that tab when you want to insert a photo it's less confusing.

Now, go to your photobucket account where you should have uploaded any photos you want to use in your listing. Select the first photo you wish to insert and then click 'share'. This opens up a new window with new tabs. Select 'get link code' and then highlight the text in the HTML for websites option, then copy and paste this into the HTML box (below the text already in it) of your ebay listing.

Click back onto the standard tab for you item description and then preview it to see your work so far and you should see the photo on the listing. If you wish to insert any more text then do it in the standard view rather than HTML. Carry on until you've completed your description and you should have a proffesional looking listing with lots of free photos on it.

Hope thats not too confusing, it should hopefully point you somewhere in the right direction.
