    Using Personal Webspace to Host eBay Pictures?

    Hi all,

    I have been doing quite a few eBay listings recently and used Picamatic to host my images, I basically uploaded my photos to them on a simple webpage and it gave me HTML links to both the photos and clickable thumbnails.

    All I needed to do was to copy and paste the HTML into my listing and I would have clickable thumbnails that would link to larger pictures.

    Picamatic has now ceased to be and I have my own personal webspace.

    I was wondering if there is any software which I can use to bulk upload my photos via FTP and then get clickable thumbnail HTML links to paste onto the eBay listing? I believe I could do this manually but having 15 photos for every auction would make this very time consuming.

    I do know about Imageshack, Photobucket and Imagecave etc.. But they have ads and aren't that great.
    I also have tried Jalbum but that seems to create a photo album externally, I really want to have thumbnails on the actual listing visible instead of a written link.

    If anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated!

    Not quite the same thing, but you can use IrfanView to batch thumbnail your pictures: http://www.irfanview.com/

    Picasa will allow you to post different sizes of the same image with a click taking you to the fullsized image.

    Hello, yes I do have my webspace, is there anyway of using this sort of thing on my webspace:

    http://www.imagebam.com/

    That is ok but is quite slow and has advertisments?

    well if you have your own webspace, you can simply upload your images there and then link with HTML in your ebay post.

    ALso, maybe check out this guide which might be more what you are looking for
