I thought most here would be honest,maybe that has changed.
I'm still same old honest Gill money has not corrupted me, you may recall an ebay purchase you made from me thinking you were buying the actual books, Hokes Refining Precious Metals Wastes, Testing Precious Metals for $19.99 then you received a DVD loaded with digital copies. You complained and I immediately refunded you your payment and never so much asked that you return the DVD.
I had stated clearly in my auction what it was that I was offering for sale, your auction listing is deceiving in the description, you show some plastic trays with high grade gold pins then say there are more in the large skid mounted gaylords not shown in the picture line up.
Your leaving a lot to the buyers imagination and his/her want for gold.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to post more than 1 picture on your ebay listings for free.
I use the Kompozer open source html editor to write up my auction description, using the direct links from Photbucket hosted there then insert the link from the hosted Photbucket image into Kompozer.
In kompozer top left hand corner you will find a drop down tab named INSERT. you may add any number of images in your description that will show up in your auction free of charge. I use the ebay first image using self hosted, insert the Photbucket URL for gallery picture.
The advantage of using self hosted pictures over ebay hosting is that you get large full page pictures rather than the ebay truncated pictures that tend to hide imperfections.
Replacing a picture in your auction with a new one is a snap, take note of file name for the one already hosted on PB, then delete that image. After this image has been deleted upload a new image using the name from the old picture file you previously deleted. No need to make any changes on your auction page the new image having the same name as the deleted file will automatically replace itself into the current PB URL.
You can even make these changes once your auction has bids on it, try this using ebay hosted pictures.
If you have bids and need to add more information should someone request it, you can make up your reply using Kompozer adding more pictures then copy and past from the editor into the ebay add information section. Your annotation with added pictures will show up.
When I sold my Toyota Landcruser FJ45 I had over 30 pictures showing every possible detail the good bad and the ugly. When using large amounts of pictures be sure to make this the first thing your potential buyer is going to read letting him know to wait and scroll.
Getting a copy of an ebay hosted picture not so easy these days, if you need a copy to blow up to see detail, under your browser's file drop down click save page as into a folder. The ebay hosted pictures will be in that folder, now you can enlarge them for better viewing.
Saving a copy of a self hosted file is easy, right click save image.
