<p>[QUOTE="claycad, post: 1156981, member: 17987"]Thanks guys, I posted 3 auctions this week that end today. Two of them have bids, so I'm pretty excited, at least I know that I will sell them and finally get some seller feedback. A question on pictures though. Ebay charges for anymore than the first picture. for the auctions I've put up I put one picture showing both sides of the coin. This way I only have to put one picture that shows both the obverse and reverse and not have to pay to put a second picture of the reverse. After I did this I realized that people could be confused and think they are bidding on two coins. Even though I clearly say how many coins they are bidding on in the description, but I still don't plan on doing it that way for future auctions. I see many people use a service called auctiva (or something like that) that lets them put more pictures in the description area, but this is a $2.95 a month service for X amount of pictures then like $0.50 for each picture over the monthly limit. </p><p><br /></p><p>So my question is can you upload pictures to a free service like picasaweb or photobucket and put a link to the picasa album in the describtion or does doing this violate some ebay policy? </p><p><br /></p><p>While it would be easier then sell some of the coins in lots, I figure if I could sell them individually then that would raise my feedback. I've been thinking about selling IHC with a starting bid of $0.01 (face value, although I'd hope to get more obviously) with a shipping fee of maybe $1.00 only enough to cover the price of a stamp and envelope and offer combined shipping. Even though I wouldn't be making any money doing this, it may help me sell several items bringing up my seller rating. I would like to get atleast a rating of 100 or so before selling more expensive items. My rating now is 65, but all 65 of those transactions have been as a buyer, so even though I have 100% positive feedback, its all been as a buyer, never a seller.. My first auctions end today so hopefully I will receive feedback from those buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I see many people use a service called auctiva (or something like that) that lets them put more pictures in the description area, but this is a $2.95 a month service for X amount of pictures then like $0.50 for each picture over the monthly limit. So my question is can you upload pictures to a free service like picasaweb or photobucket and put a link to the picasa album in the describtion or does doing this violate some ebay policy? While it would be easier then sell some of the coins in lots, I figure if I could sell them individually then that would raise my feedback.
