Photo hosting?

[jaymanek]

Hi Guys,

Im having issues with ebay motors pro (dealer website) at the moment as when uploading photos of cars, they come out at a lesser quality on the actual website. Also they are a set size and i feel its too small.

What I want to do is put a link in every ebay/pistonheads advert to an external site with 10-15 large, good quality pics.

i need the host site to be able to:

- Upload pics easily and effectively (bulk upload tool like facebook or ebay)
- handle 10/15 pics for over 40 cars...
- be easy to navigate and use for customers (intuitive)
- look elegant, not something that is obviously free.. im not convinced by sites like flikr, shutterfly etc as they are just too slow and user interface is a little clunky IMO.

Does anyone have any ideas? I am able to host pics myself if needs be.

Thanks

Jay

Yup used Photobucket for years, all the pics I post are hosted there. I use it for eBay ads too.

That looks pretty good from a "customer viewpoint".

Can you drag the pictures to re-order?

 

[jaymanek]

No thats the issue, dont think it lets me..

I have tried both "bulk upload" and "old style upload" and no matter what order i upload them the order gets mixed up!

Dont really want the first pic to be of the boot!

heres another..

How about just clicking on reverse order Jay that will put the car first and the boot last.
Just did it and it looks ok.

Jay,

Try names as 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc in order you want.

Is it perhaps displaying the pictures in filename sequence? If so you could rename them (pic1, pic2, pic3 etc.) before uploading.

How come mind just plain?

Yes re-name alphabetically then reorder.

Figured it out, nothing to do with name, it just puts them in the reverse order of however they are loaded.. so just have to load them backwards!

Hi Jay
Same thing really, glad you got it sorted

But then you can name them, after loading. Set alphabetically in account options.

Taken me a good three hours but all the cars are now on there!
