How to move your picture from your computer to the eBay selling site:
l Take a digital picture of your item and save it in your computer. It will probably be in the “My Pictures” folder in the “My Documents” section of your C drive.
l Open the “My Pictures” folder and locate your picture.
l Right click your picture and click “Send to desktop”
l Open the eBay selling website. When you get to the part where you need to add your picture, locate your picture on your desktop and click it. The eBay webpage will resize your photo automatically. You can also make adjustments to your photo using the eBay site features.
