Step 1: Save a photo to your computer   |   Step 2: Edit your photo   |   Step 3: Copy your photo to the Web

Now you'll need to find a "home" for your photo on the Web. Choose one of the following:

1. eBay's Picture Services
   Instantly move your pictures from your computer into your listing-right from eBay's Sell Your Item page. Your first picture is free with Picture Services!

   

2. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
   Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide free Web space for their customers. Contact your ISP to see if this is the case.

   If you use America Online (AOL), go to the keyword MyPlace, and set up your own Web space. Just follow AOL's step-by-step instructions to upload your picture. Click here for more information.

3. Photo hosting services, free Web space providers
   If your ISP does not provide Web space, check out Fotango's online photo digitisation and hosting service.

   FTP Software
   You will need software to copy (upload) files from your computer to the Web. This software is called FTP (File Transfer Protocol or File Transfer Program). If you're not using your ISP for Web space or if your ISP's software is difficult for you to use, check out these popular programs:

   • WS_FTP (includes eBay user reference guide)
   • CuteFTP
   • FTP Voyager

Once your picture is hosted somewhere, you'll need to put the picture's Web address on eBay's Sell Your Item page.

Here's how:

• Find out your picture's Web address (URL); for example, http://www.something.com/my-user-id/
• Add the name of your picture file; for example: carphoto.jpg
• Enter the result (in this case, http://www.something.com/my-user-id/carphoto.jpg) in the Picture URL box on the Sell Your Item page.
