Hmmm... Ebay/Photobucket Questions

[KEY ISSUES Comics]

I haven't used Ebay as a seller in quite some time and I've just encountered a few little road bumps as I attempt to list some books:

 

#1 The images I uploaded to PHOTOBUCKET were all 4MB or larger, but now they weigh only 258kb or so, now that I'm downloading them from PHOTOBUCKET to be re-used on Ebay. Does PHOTOBUCKET re-size uploaded images? If so, then lesson learned - keep the bloody originals on your hard-drive. If not, what am I doing wrong???

 

#2 Wow - Ebay.ca users seem to have to pay for more than Ebay.com users. ALL pictures are FREE on .com, but .ca users have to pay $0.15/image after the 1st. Is there a way around that??? I was going to list on .com, but it assumes I'm in the US and that messes up all of the shipping options/prices.

 

Thanks!

As in PHOTOBUCKSET settings? If so, I never even knew there were any....

 

Thanks.

Oh, and if you use the html format, you can put unlimited pics at no charge in the description. Nicer pics than you can with the regular format.

After you click on upload, theres a link at the bottom to customize your upload options. You can change the size there.

Gotcha. I guess there was some default value and I never noticed it. Great. About 100 scans that need to be redone. Fun.

 

And the ppi reads @ 1.... That's weird.

All good now!

 

Thanks COMICDONNA - at least 1 only wasted $0.15 on one 1 listing. I NEVER thought of using an img tag to insert FREE images, AND the images are the real size now. Cool. So why would anyone ever pay Ebay to post images then?

 

Kind of weird.

I'm glad it worked out.

One word - ignorance.
