For a limited time we are providing our premium listing for free. Included with the premium listing is more space for the item description and a picture (see picture size below). The listing will look the same on the listings page but will have a clickable link which will open the information and picture page.

From the Log In page, select the List item with a picture option. You will be directed to the upload page. On that page click the button that says browse. Find the picture file on your computer and double click on it or click open. Then click on send file. Your picture will be uploaded and you will be presented with the opportunity to describe the item in three paragraphs.

Picture size:

1. Pictures can not be larger than 80 KB and a smaller file size is better. Try to keep your pictures below 40 KB to prevent excessive upload and download times. A picture is of little value if the viewer gets tired of waiting and closes the window. Most pictures on a web site are under 15kb.
    
   • Take your pictures using the lowest setting available on your camera.
   • Check the size of your picture (must be less than 80KB) by either:
     
     a.   Right-clicking on the image and viewing the "Properties" or:
     b.   Browsing to the picture in Windows Explorer, highlighting the file, and looking at the info.
      
2. If the file is larger than 50 KB, you should resize your image. If the file size is larger than 80 KB you must resize your image.
   Files larger than 80 KB will not upload to our site.
    
   • Pictures can be resized at shrinkpictures.com
     
     It´s a website where you can upload a large picture, choose a size and quality, and download the resized picture. It works amazingly well. Choose a preset or custom maximum file size and a picture quality of good. Upload the file to their site. Follow the instructions for saving the resized file. Save it in a location where you can find it with a name you will recognize. Save it before you click remove it now.
      
   • The software that came with your digital camera may allow you to resize the images.
     
     By default, your digital camera will take quite large pictures and the better your camera is, the harder it is going to be getting the file size down. You will want to shrink the dimensions of your image. Maximum dimensions should be 640 pixels by 480 pixels. If you have an email setting on your camera try that. A picture size of 480 pixels by 320 pixels or 600 pixels by 450 pixels and less than 50 KB would be a good choice. The sample picture at the bottom of this page is 600 by 450 and has a file size of 32.4 KB
