How Do You Embed Pictures and Video's into a Ebay Listing?

We are using notepad to prepare text and hyperlinks and then copy an paste into the lising in ebay but Only the links show not the picture's or video's

Is here a Special way to do this Should we use a differnt 'something other than Notepad' ?

Would Microsoft 'Word' work better?
or what does work?

Anybody know How to do this - so We can just Copy and paste Directly into a Ebay Listing, and then the NOT the links will show but the pictures and Video's will ?

you need to use HTML - goto the html tab when putting in your description.

 

 

you need to know how to use html coding.  word wont do that for you, learning it is the best and only way really

so what i copy from "note-pad" will transform into html language cause i have hit the 'refresh' page in the ebay place and nothing happens

the only thing that will work is the ' draft save clicker '

 

what do I have to speak to html to make any pic of vid appear in the page

 

is there a page to learn this at?

no, copy and pasting wont convert it, that wont happen at all - like i said in the other post you need to know how to use HTML code.

 

 

Note pad will just give you text (but is a great little program to write out html in).

 

goto the top of your browser where it says view>view page source

 

and that will bring up the HTML code for the page you are viewing.

 

that is the language that makes a webpage essentially.

 

if you want to learn it you can easily find about it on google.   search, learn html,  im sure that will bring up loads of info.

 

 

i learnt it when internet was relatively new and it has served me well over the years for making basic web pages and ebay listings.

 

 

there are programs which build html for you but you need to learn how to use them too.

 

basic HTML is not hard and is a skill worth having.

 

i dont know if youre a lazy boy or not but it wont come over night, like i said though, worth doing for the non lazy.
