Selling on ebay?!

It's been a long time since I wrote anything.... Had a bad week, actually two. My youngest missed 6 weeks at nursery, then finally she was fit to go. Thursday, Friday in. Everyone is happy! I was off to the gym and the girls were having fun with friends. Here comes Sunday and I find chicken pox on V! OMG! That's another 2 weeks at home :(  Am I a bad mum saying that 8 weeks at home( couldn't go out) with your kids makes you go
???????

Anyways, I thought to share a tip for selling stuff on e-bay. Probably many of us sell unwanted stuff, things your children grew out of, things you don't need any more and etc.  The most annoying thing I find when listing things are the charges for photos. Sometimes they don't charge you at all, and some times they do. Did you know that you can use a free independent photo hosting site? You upload your photos on that site and on your e-bay listing you can either do HTML to incorporate your photos, or just put links to your photos. I used to use http://www.auctiva.com/ , but now I am trying out a http://www.fileave.com.
Fileave seems easy to use. And what I like about it is that the links to the photos are straight forward and they show each photo in a full screen. Love it! Check as an example 'Clarks shoes'
Isn't it cool?  And by using this site you avoid extra charges for your photos on e-bay :)
  Happy e-baying  haha

    Like the other day I've put two things, For the first one I got charged 5p, for the second almost £2 if with photos grr! But more photos you have more chances to sell is it not?
