I'm selling my V70 and put it on Ebay today.

I've tried to be clever and insert images into the ad using html but unsure if they are showing up on anyone's computer other than my own. Big mistake if not!

Reason is I'm thinking that is they don't seem to appear when looking on my phone?

Not sure I can link directly so the item number is:-
320713035105

If just a few folk could have a butchers and confirm yes or no that would be grand. Mods, you can bin the thread when I've got a few replies...or not, you're the mods!!

Oh and it's not been up long and already got a few emails written in "retard" offering me stupid money fr the thing... "wud u take a grand? Cheerz bud".......how about "delete"....arsole.

No pictures apart from the first one up top.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just upload the pictures with the ad?

Trying to save money?

EBay "sanitize" the HTML in the article description so you can't do stuff like this (or embed a virus, etc)

(edited to say)
I don't know what you're not allowed in the HTML in the body though, but I know they don't allow certain things.

bks.....thanks for checking.

I'll try again.

I've done it before and it worked, long time ago though. I'll try again with photobucket instead of flikr and see what happens.

Essentially you can get much more larger res pictures doing it that way...and it's free. They've probably tightend up on it since I last tried.

AFAIR all the pics are now free on ebay and really I can't see a point in all the hassle, Ebay doesn't lower the quality too much.

Yes, you're right. It's been a while.

Saying that I have done it before (long time ago) and the images you can insert into the body of hte ad are larger and higher res.

I've tried again anyway, and added my free 12 pics.

Can you kind chaps just have another quick check for me..thanks thumbup
