suggest a bulk image hosting site??

Aug 8, 2010 11:37 AM

please could someone suggest an EASY to use Bulk uploader- all the ones ive tried seem to be one, but never both. its driving me mad!

i just want to be able to upload loads of pictures, then copy the html.

i dont need folders, i dont want to spend ages clicking here, there and everywhere to get to the html (eg photobucket), and i dont need any resizing.

ive just spent 40 minutes looking and trying and signing up- NOTHING works!! the last ones i used were pict.com- limted access and nasty new redesign anway make it unusable- and tinypic.com- needs a stupid unreadable capta for every single one.

anyone save me?? there must be SOMEthing!

It is definitely wise to use folders to segregate your photos to make them easier to manage. Your folders can represent individual listings, date ranges, or product lines. If you sign up for a paid photobucket account, you can FTP your files into Photobucket. With FTP, you can drag and drop a group of photos, or a whole folder of photos, from your computer to the website. I use the FTP feature built into Internet Explorer Another option is to sign up for a website and use the website for photo storage using the FTP method (File Transfer Protocol). I think you can get a hosted site for $10/month or less. Visit us on the Photos/HTML forum if you need more help with non-eBay hosting.

You can try jpegbay.com - you just upload and get the html code.

I love Photobucket, but I know many others are crazy about Flickr.com.

m.drap,

When site owners complete their project, it's natural for them to want to draw site traffic. However, many do so via the wrong methods.

Every couple of weeks, there is one or two people who pretend to find a host and recommend it here on the forums. Unfortunately, long-standing forum members can see right through the disguise and recognize that it is the site owner who is posting links to their own sites.

Per eBay policy, advertising your personal sites or goods is not allowed on the forums. Therefore, it might be wise to self-report your post to avoid getting a letter from eBay for a policy violation.

One of the best solutions for hosting images for your eBay listings is to set up and operate your own WordPress blog/information site. The internal media management functions are easy to use and make it all a breeze and you get the benefits of having your own website with blog to build your online identity, enhance SEO, and link to your venue site(s). Later, should you decide to do so it is a simple matter to add a shopping cart and sell from the site too. All the software required for this is completely free. No HTML or other programming knowledge is required either.

umo54931,

Steve hasn't responded so I'll give it a shot. I'm not familiar with the WordPress system for web site management but I'm quite sure there is no eBay interface included. As with any other web host not specifically designed for use by eBay sellers a process of determining the URLs and using with HTML is necessary.

Specifically, the URL http://blahblah.com/index.htm is, as you say, to a web page. Each individual image uploaded to a host will acquire its own unique URL. That URL combined with an HTML image tag will cause it to be displayed. For example:

<img src="http://blahblah.com/mypicture.jpg">

How to figure out what URL to use will vary with hosting service used.

Hope this helps (at least a little),

Rob

For quick and easy posting to eBay / Craigslist try sites like http://imgbox.com or imgur.com . It should be very quick and easy. Hope that helps.
