Other times, your internal description images may be the |/to only|/tx ones you have. Since images are |/to absolutely essential|/tx to |/su eBay|1|/ebay sales, don't miss this crucial detail\274 |6|/shiftin |/aqua |/burplebox6.5 |/staytint1 |h Images are ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to successful eBay sales! |h If your in-description images are your ONLY pictures, be sure to activate the eBay "camera" icon by clicking on the "The description already includes a picture URL for my item" box on the PICTURES AND DETAILS page. |h |1|/shiftout |/aqua |/black |h These surprisingly simple additions to your basic image-in-description code can give you all sorts of exciting new opportunities\274 |6|/shiftin |/burple |/burplebox8.5 |/staytint1 |h To click expand to a LARGER SIZE IMAGE\274 |h |h To link to a TOTALLY DIFFERENT FILE TYPE\274 |h |h |1|/shiftout |/aqua |/black |h You might like to have a larger image for more detail, especially to show what all the knobs on a piece of test equipment do or whatever. But just putting your big ) cl startnewpage (image inline has several disadvantages that include |/to slow loading|/tx and possibly making your final eBay text displays |/to too wide|/tx to easily read. This simple code linking lets those who want the detail get it at their convenience. |h Here's a "click-to-magnify-an-image" example\274 |/autoimageandlink1 An obvious extension is to select any of a number of grouped mages from an HTML table. Here is |/su an example|1|/oreproptable . You can extract the actual HTML code by downloading and then using your |/to view page source|/tx option. |h Crosslinking a "fake" image to another link |/to gives you a way to have pictures |/to without actually having pictures|/tx . Usually, your initial image will be a |/to .JPG "text" |/to message|/tx that asks the viewer to "click here". This in turn can go to a supporting link that may include most any mix of useful data or images. Which is particularly useful in |/to linking a manufacturer's web site|/tx for additional technical info. |h Here is a "click-to-go-somewhere-else" example\274 |/autoimageandlink2 Note that |/su eBay|1|/ebay only allows "real" |/to .JPG|/tx or similar filename types for their images. This clickthrough process lets you |/to substitute|/tx most any filetype. This is especially handy where, say, a data sheet makes more sense than a picture of a chip. |h You can easily get a lot fancier, but chances are you will need to go to |/to JavaScript|/tx for anything more impressive. Especially when you want changes to appear on any |/to existing page|/tx , rather than in a new window. ) cl startnewpage (Here is another |/su eBay user|1|/sotofamilia who uses the eBay hosting for their "photo album" multiple selections that magically appear all on the main offering page.

Ideally, everything in storage should be listed and producing long term income with a well defined (usually 15 month) sellout date. |h At least once a year, I feel it is more than a good idea to reevaluate everything in storage and do a total bailout.

Give them one final chance before flushing. |h \267 Always favor keeping new stuff over old, high value items over low, light items over heavy, clean over dirty, working over needing refurb, popular sellers over unknowns, items within your expertise over questionables, packaged over loose, compact over bulky, quantity over onsies, and small items over larger ones. |h \267 Carefully research current |/su eBay|6|/ebay |/to prices. Chances are |/staytint1 they have dropped dramatically. Avoid ever listing anything for less than a $19.63 opening price. |h \267 Group oddball low value items into like assortment lots or flush them entirely. |h \267 Links to manufacturer's listings can sometimes be used to replace the need for a custom photo. This can simplify and speed up low value item disposal. Avoid any listings without a photo or a photo-like link. |h \267 Know exactly what you have in inventory, where it is, its value, and its disposal plan. |h \267 The key tests: Would you buy this now? For how much? |h \267 Tag and schedule all items to be refurbed. Then prioritize them in order of bang for the buck effort. Attack the big lumps first. |h \267 Try to use production line techniques where you shoot and process many photos at once. And try to maximize items listed per work session. |h \267 Alternate listing big ticket items with nuisance onezies.
