Jeff,

No, you can only post one picture at a time.

The story goes back about 4 or 5 years. I used to run an eBay auction sniping service called RoboBidder which I later sold. If you go to www.robobidder.com, you will be redirected to the company I sold it to. They've kept the RoboBidder.com name!

At the time, eBay charged a high fee for posting photos, and there were a number of alternatives. I developed both an "upload one photo" and "many photos" capability which I was about to market as an add-on to RoboBidder, but then eBay slashed its prices on photos, so I never did anything commercially with it.

The computer code lives on - it powers the photo upload for the Hummer Exchange (on www.HarleyHummerClub.org ) and the KJ Exchange.

I trashed the "multi-photo" code, as it would not have fit in with the 'Exchanges "email a copy of each message to everyone on the list" capabilities. I felt that emails with a half-dozen photos would be ugly for people who live in rural areas. One photo takes forever if you're on a 56K dial-up Internet.

I've got super-quick DSL here in town, but when I retire next year, I'm moving to a technology-challenged area - no DSL, no cable - 56K dial-up or expensive satellite service.

So, one photo per posting is all you get!
