Can someone explain how to submit photographs, I dont understand that part?

Also I noticed that the tagging system, I accidently tagged it wrong but it was a long entry with multiple words. For some reason if u put in too many at once, you can never delete it. But u can delete the others

Another thing that I am sorta worried about, is that tags can only be entered by the original poster

And another thing too. I am a bit afraid of some of the dirty pictures that are showing up. I saw a big hairy man without his shirt and he was holding something I dont think he should of been holding.


the fruities are here to spread kindness, happy thoughts wherever we go on Ebay. Our goal is to assimilate into all areas of ebay where humans exist and cheer them up and boost their spirits.

We wish to have a leash free neighborhood, a small place. We'd like to have at least a tree and some grass so we can climb and have a safe place where are Fruit Helmets can find one another. Currently we are all orphaned and we are just running around trying to find one another. It is very difficult to do because we are not that tall and we have to be careful we dont get stepped on.

We will use our neighborhood as a community friendly place. We plan to use it to speak about good causes that are out there. Show 'n tell and to talk about our stories. We also have pooper scoopers so we plan to maintain a very clean and safe living quarters. Please give us a home because no one should be left behind and every neighborhood should have a pet sanctuary. We might be small but we have big big hearts.

We have lots of fruit helmets so if you need to make a flashy thingy you can look for us on our latest video. We're used to begging for scraps so this sho

Green acres is the place to be
Secret Agent: Fruity

Time to bring your helmets!

What are neighborhoods?
eBay Neighborhoods provide ebay members with an area to discuss topics and products of shared interest.

Photo Gallery

The large picture in the upper left portion of the page is the Photo Gallery. Every Neighborhood has at least one picture (the default) in the Photo Gallery. When you move your mouse over the center of the image you will see voting buttons (or a prompt to sign in to vote) along with a picture id and the My World picture and userid of the person who uploaded the picture. By clicking on the voting buttons you can cast your vote for whether you like the picture or not. The more positive votes a picture gets will make it appear earlier in the list of pictures.

Moving your mouse back down to the bottom of the picture will bring up the toolbar. Clicking the My Photos button will let you upload your own picture to the Photo Gallery. You have a limited number of photos you can upload to each Neighborhood. When you are in the My Photos mode, the button will switch to say All Photos and clicking it will return you to the list of all the pictures in that Neighborhood.

The next button to the right is the Single Photo button. You use this to toggle out of the grid view of the pictures. The Grid View button lets you see multiple photos in the Photo Gallery at once by arranging them as a grid of small thumbnail pictures. Clicking one of the pictures will display the larger version. The righmost group of buttons on the toolbar allow you to navigate between the pictures. There is a previous and next button along with a play/pause button which will automatically play through the pictures.
