You can only upload photos which are less than 100KB in size to your adverts. If your photos are larger than this they won't be uploaded. You can check the size of your photo by opening the folder containing your picture, and then right-clicking on it. Select 'Properties' - the size of your picture will be shown.

Remember 1MB = 1000KB. To make large pictures suitable for uploading you will need to resize or compress them. You can compress them with your usual Photo Editing software. Alternatively, if you are running Windows XP you can download an image resizer from Microsoft. To do this follow the steps below:-

1) Click on this link to access the download from Microsoft Click Here To Download
2) Select 'Run' and then 'Run' again. The installation process will start. Follow the on screen prompts. Keep clickng next until you get the option to select to install.
3) Once installed you will have a new 'Resize Pictures' option when you right-click on an image within a folder.
4) To use this resize option when uploading images in the auction listing do the following. Click the Browse button to open a folder. Locate your image (you may find it easier to change to a Thumbnail view). Once you have located the image, right-click on it. By selecting the 'Resize Pictures' option you will then be given the option to resize. Select 'Small' and then click 'OK'. The picture will be resaved to the same directory in a smaller format. The filename of the smaller picture will have '(small)' in it.
