Taking Pictures for eBay and Copy & Paste Help

Take better photo's for your auction, store or fixed items.
A good photo will sell your item faster and for a better price! (Several good photo's are even better.)

  1. Highlight URL (click left mouse button before the h and hold down left mouse button while dragging to behind the l) >
  2. Copy (ctrl-c) URL >
  3. Paste (ctrl-v) URL into your browser address field >
  4. Click GO or hit Enter

Following these directions should take you to the page above. Use the KEY below if you need more explanation. If you would like to save the KEY below for future reference, you can Copy & Paste the key into a text editor program (ie.: Notepad) then name the file (ie.: copypaste_key.txt) and save to a folder (ie.: My Documents) on your computer to view later.

You can use this technique for creating your listings, too. It's very helpful for repetative text such as Policies, Payment Instructions, multiple listing of the same item, or even Feedback. Once written, I save them to a text editor then just copy and paste to the listing. It's a huge time saver!

(:) I'm always glad to help someone and don't mind answering How-To questions.

Grandma again, to my third granddaughter ...

She is expected in the week of May 29, 2007! We currently have 6 other grandchildren, all under 8 years old (wow, you should see Christmas!).

I'm told, AVERY VICTORIA will be her name. Daughter and first child of our youngest son, a recent Baccalaureate of Science graduate of SIUE. We are all very excited ... :-)

Why are the some links wrong on eBay? Same ID - wrong Feedback!

I recently wrote a Review for Cell Phone>Sony Ericsson>Z525.

When I viewed the posted Review, it had a link to Reviews that I had written, so I clicked the link. The link went to an ID the same as mine however, it was not my feedback. Why are the links wrong? After contacting CS about the error, I found out today that, the error is fixed - thank you eBay! Only problem now is, my Review has disappeared. :-(
