I realized that even though most sellers on the message boards (and in groups) have already learned (one way or another! lol) how to post pictures to the boards.... there's a BUNCH of Newbies out there that could sure use a hand!  SO.....

Here's a picture tutorial that will *hopefully* teach you how to do just that!

First... You'll want to log into your Photobucket Account.  If you don't have one, you can sign up for a FREE account (or paid - if you so desire!) by following this link: 

Now... If you've never used Photobucket before... it can be a LITTLE intimidating... BUT... after uploading just a few pictures, you'll find that it is REALLY user friendly!    So... Here goes!

First... you have to decide if you'd like to make a new *Sub-Album*.  If you're posting to an eBay group... it's really best (in MY opinion) to just use the main album.  There's something weird (I know, VERY technical term! lol) about the file name being too long - that sometimes makes the pictures NOT show up.  I haven't noticed this on the main boards on eBay though... so the choice is yours... Either way... if you'd like a new Sub-Album - Type in the album name - where the number TWO is... and click CREATE (SEE #2 BELOW!).   Then you'll see the Sub-Album listed... just click onto that album, and follow the next direction.

 

Otherwise... you can just click on BROWSE (SEE #1)... then find the picture that you'd like to upload (from your computer) - Click onto that picture... and then click OPEN -- (continue on the other lines - if you want to upload more than one at a time!) 

Now, click UPLOAD.  Depending on how big the file was (see my info about re-sizing your pictures!), and how many pictures you're uploading at one time (OH... and don't forget about your connection speed - dial-up, DSL, Broadband!) it can take from a few seconds... to a few minutes.

Now... when you want to post your picture into an eBay Message Board, or in a private group... You click onto the middle line under the picture, which says "HTML Tag".... and then you'll right click and paste it into the *Post a reply* box on the message board!

Congratulations... You're done!
