eBay now only alows for one picture to be entered in the Self-Hosting Slot. The rest of your pictures must hosted with an outside server such as

http://photobucket.com/
http://www.imageshack.us/
http://www.imagecave.com/

You then have to enter your hosted pictures via HTML in the item description of your auction.

There is two ways that you can insert pictures in your item description. One by pasting a HTML code, or by copying and pasting your image into the standard tab

With HTML:

1) You will need to copy and paste the direct URL of your image from your photo host. It will look something like this:

http://www.yourphotohost.com/folder/picture.jpg

You will then need to add the following code to the front of your pictures address: <img src="
and then add the following code to the end of your pictures address: ">

The Result:

<img src="http://www.your-host.com/folder/image1.jpg">

2) eBay has two versions of the online listing form. The "Customize" lister and the "Simple" lister. The "Simple" lister has only the RichText editor without the HTML tab, so you can't add your image codes there. So be sure to click the Customize Your Listing Bubble

3) Click the HTML Tab to Paste Code

4) Flip back to the Standard Tab to Edit Text

To Copy & Paste Your Image in the Standard Tab:

In some situations, you can paste images into the Standard tab. If you can view your hosted image by itself on a webpage you can right-click the image and copy it. Then click your mouse into eBay's description editor; right-click-paste the image and it will appear in the editor. No HTML codes needed!

Using Firefox, it might be a little different. To pick up an image, carefully drag your mouse over the image to highlight it. When you paste the image into the editor, you may or may not have the option on the right-click menu. If not, use the CTRL + V keys.
