Bigger pictures

[vq5speed]

Hi all, New seller to eBid!

Can we make our pictures bigger. I load my pics from Photo Bucket and I guess there resized from eBid. Can I make them bigger.

Hi and welcome to eBid!

If you use the eBid facility for your images, they will be resized to 500px x 500px

The only way to show bigger images is to add them to your description and using an image hosting site such as photobucket.

Also, looking at your listings, you have multiple repeat auctions running. Only 1 listing per item is allowed. If you have more than one item, you must use the dutch auction feature. Better change that quick before eBid pounce on you.

No, you can't have multiple/duplicate listings of the same item, it's against eBid rules and will jeopardize your membership here. It is to prevent sellers from hogging the search pages with 1000's of the exact same item listings. If you have say, 10 exact items, you must list them as a dutch auction. But if you have XXX amount of the same items with different colors or sizes, you can list them by changing the item title to size/color etc.

As to the image in your description:
Here is the HTML code you need.

<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.yourphotobucketurl.jpg">
</div>

change the blue area to your photobucket image url

Use the Direct Link option.

thanks for the code appreciate it.

As far as multiples 3 is hardly hogging up a page! LOL but I made the changes. I have lots more to list so I made the changes.

How did you see my listings? I looked at your responses and don't see where you clicked to see your listings

OP the main thing about duplicates is based on the description. I would advise you to ensure that all your titles are unique to your listings. At the moment you have a few titles that are the same.

Also I would advise that you input something on your all about page, and input business info too.

Yeah I know, but rules is rules whether we like them or not and we don't want you getting into trouble before you've even started.

I put alittle about my terms and business on the bottom of my description. In time I will input more info. I just wanted to get some listings up first. I put a picture up of my mug though

Another tip for you before you add more listings.

It's always advised not to use 'run until sold' because they'll always remain at the bottom of the search list and no one will see them.

Try and list your items for say, 7 - 10 - 14 days with 10 auto relists. That way they'll gradually creep up to the top of the search list and get more exposure.

I see you used the 'bold' option which will incur an automatic fee for each listing period per item (if you take my advice).

At least there is a couple of faces on the all about page.

What I meant was is that you are currently classed as an "individual" seller & not a "business" seller.

Going on past postings from some buyers this can put them off as they think that a person who is running a business but is only showing as an individual can be "off-putting" or even worse.

I don't know how the laws apply in the USA, but in the UK the buyer tends to have more "rights" when buying from a business rather than an individual. This can have an effect on sales, but most individuals will treat customers as if they were a business anyway.

I hope you have much success on eBid, you may want to use the repatoo link on auction / all about pages rather than mentioning the other side & sites. You can even import feedback via repatoo as well if you want to. Some decide not to, and others decide to, either way it's your choice and the feature is there should you want to use it. (I don't know how it works regarding the actual import as I have not imported any feedback)
