How do I add photos to my listing?

If you would like photos posted with your listing, simply login to your account and then under 'Edit Your Listing' click on 'Photos' icon. There you can select the photos from your local computer you wish to upload to your listing. You can change the photos any time you wish, as often as you wish.

What type of photo files can be uploaded?

Photos with the file extension of .jpg, gif and png can be uploaded to your listing. Although our software will accept photos of any size, it is typically easier to upload smaller files (particularly if you have a slow Internet connection).  Recommended size: 300" x 200".

How many photos can I put on my listing?

You can upload up to 12 photos.

I'm having difficulty uploading my photos?

If you are currently trying to upload your photos, this is where you select photos that reside on your computer to be transferred to our web site. This part should NOT be filled in with a web address.

Once you are on the Photos tab for your listing, click on the Browse button for a dialog box and navigate until you find the image file you want to upload. Click on the file, then click Open. This will set the path to your image file in the text box. Next, click Upload Photo and wait while the file is uploaded from your computer to our web site. The screen will not change until the transfer is complete. If the file is large or your connection is slow, this step could take several minutes.

What if my photos are already somewhere out on the Internet?

If you have no photos on your local computer, but have some on the Internet you will have to go fetch them first. You can download them to your local computer and then upload them to our site. To download photos, use your browser to view the photos, and place the mouse pointer over the photo itself. Click the right mouse button. A menu will appear. Select "Save Picture As" on the menu. This will bring up a dialog box that will give you a choice of where to save the photo and under what name. The original name of the photo will appear. You should change it to something simple using only letters, numbers and dashes. This can be done by clicking in the area with the filename and changing it. Photos should be saved somewhere on your computer that you will remember, like on your desktop. Click the "Save" button to transfer the photo. Once downloaded to your local computer you can upload them to our site using the instructions above.

Important note about thumbnail photos: Often when viewing a web site that contains your photos, a smaller photo will be displayed and when you click it, a larger copy of the photo will be displayed. The smaller photo is called a thumbnail. When taking photos from the internet, make sure you do not save the thumbnail. Click the thumbnail and save the larger photo, as described above. If you submit the thumbnail to us, it will show up as small and/or blurry on your listing.

Remember, photos you have posted on other sites may be copyrighted by those sites, thus making it illegal for us to post them. Please, be sure that you own the rights to any photos you post. We do not copyright or take any rights away from you, the owner, when posting your pictures.
