hi everybody! i would like to know how i can get free pictures on ebay using [web.tv](http://web.tv). I used to use auctionwatch long ago, but my wife says they now charge. i am a cheap bastard and want to do it for free. i am using webtv and not a “real” computer, so it has to be as easy as loading the picture from my video camera, plugging in an auction number and presto! can anybody direct me to the solution? thanks! ---

Ebay has a message board like this under Community. You may want to ask the pros. [http://pages.ebay.com/community/chat/index.html](http://pages.ebay.com/community/chat/index.html) What I would do is get a free homepage put all your pictures on it. Right click on the picture after it is on your home page and copy the url and put it in your e-bay auction. ---

Ebay allows one (1) free picture with their Ipix service, each additional is 15 cents. I have no idea how to do it with webtv, sorry. ---

I hooked a video camera to the back of a webtv box once & went on the web & sent someone an email photo. But I don’t think that goes with [ebay.com](http://ebay.com) ---

And if you are on AOL, you can also go to keyword: My FTP Space, to upload your pictures, then put the link in your auction listing.
