eBCalc also offers you many options regarding eBay Picture Services. As you may know, for
your auction's pictures to be visible to the world they must be "hosted" somewhere. "Hosting" basically means putting
a file (in this case a picture) on a public website for everyone to see. Some people choose to host their images on
webspace provided to them by their ISP, other people choose to host their photos on free image hosting websites such as
ImageShack and PhotoBucket. If neither of
those options appeal to you, eBay also offers picture hosting on their website for a nominal fee. Currently eBay allows
you to host one picture on their website for free, but every additional picture after that carries a fee of
$0.15. This is what's called eBay Picture Services. Using eBay Picture
Services, eBay allows you to have a maximum of 12 pictures in your auction. If you are not using eBay
Picture Services you can have as many images as you like. To calculate the fees for eBay Picture
Services first select the number of pictures you are using in your auction (1-12), and then
select any optional eBay Picture Services upgrades you may be using which I will explain next.
