that is a very succinct and helpful reply, SRS.

I am beginning to grasp that getting pictures that size does require remote hosting, and cannot be done loading direct from the computer to Ebay.

Your method makes a lot of sense, but I am still left with the puzzle of how these pictures in the link I gave in the first post come up big right from the start, without clicking on a smaller picture ?

I did notice that when you move the cursor over these pictures it says "hosted by imageshack.us"
