Do not use eBay picture hosting. There are so many ways to work around this. You can host one picture with eBay for free, which you should do, but never use the option to host more than one, which is not free at all. I use yahoo and it really is simple. If you sign up for a free account with yahoo, you can upload pictures to that account for free and use those pictures within your auction. Place a picture at the beginning of your auction. I do think gallery pictures are effective sometimes, but most people find items on the eBay auction site with keywords. When they find what they want, they click on the auction and look at the listing. If the first thing they see is a picture of the item, it will make the buyer more confident in that they actually see the item and don’t have to read copy, then scroll down to see the a picture.

The most important, practical thing to have when selling on eBay is a plan. You need a strategy for finding products to sell, and keeping that inventory a consistent thing. When you have this, automating the entire process makes selling on the eBay auction site not only fun, but very profitable.  eBay
