Whenever I try to use the “Use eBay’s hosting” tab to post my photos, the page refreshes to the same option I start with–the one that has the remote hosting option on top. I talked to one of the livehelp guys, who showed me how to clear my cache and assured me that Opera should work just find for posting pics. But I cleared the cache and thanked helpguy, and it’s still doing the same thing. For the time being, I do the entire auction on Opera, then go in with IE and revise it by adding my pictures. I dislike doing that, though, because doing anything with my IE takes FOREVER. Any ideas? Thanks, karol ---

Sorry that the following is all I can suggest: I use Opera for doing eBay auctions. But I upload my pics to a website, and then include standard html image links in my listing. This gives me much more control over position, quality, etc. Also, you _can_ give eBay the web address of your image and it will download and place it for you. (I.e., I have never encountered your problem using Opera on eBay since I do something else. But I have noted certain problems using Opera with eBay and PayPal. Schmucks.)
