WHY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS UPLOADING PHOTOS ??
It is a good idea to have web photos of your sale items in one folder so they can be easily found. Photos need to be 440 pixels wide or less OR up to 2 mb in size to be easily uploaded. Either take photos with your camera set on the web photo settings or change existing photos to a web format by using a photo program.
We use Microsoft Picture it and change them to a web format by clicking on save special. (Click save as a web photo and the ½ page setting, it works a treat.)
If you are still having problems please e-mail your photos and we can place them for you.
