Which photo hosting service do you recomend?

[syrupsmummy]

I'm struggling with photobucket since they changed their site completely recently.  I'm still using photobucket at the moment but seeking another option if there is good one.

Which photo hosting service do you recomend? and Why?

Which photo hosting service do you currently use?

I use eaph.com, it is the sister site to robshelp.com which I use to create my listings. It costs US$8 per month but offers unlimited storage of photos and listing templates.

I still use photobucket syrups, I was having trouble there for a while, where I had to constantly revise ebay listings to get the gallery image to show, but that seems to have corrected itself.

Also you have to make sure the little box at the base of the TL [if you use it] is clicked/ticked...I missed that a few times when Change Photo Hosting..I omitted clicking This Listing Will Have An Image.

Also when clicking for Gallery Image I click URL, not 1st photo.

I have found I cannot use any of photobuckets editing tools, I simply get a grey screen when I click on Edit ... that has been since the last upgrade to the site prior to them changing to Beta this time.

What I would like to know is how to download a free TEMPLATE...ebay's selection in TL as SOOOO boring.

I also use photobucket and hate the new version; it is awful, I cannot see any instructions, and I have not managed to work out how to edit.  I am usually OK with new versions, but I only did one listing from the new one, it took me some 3 hours, and although I managed in the end, I have no idea how.  Next listing I gave up after 5 minutes and switched to the old version.

I started using PhotoBucket years ago, But seemed to have a few problems.

Thought I would try Imageshack, never EVER had one issue.

Touch wood.

Can you not have them hosted by your own ISP? I'm with Optus and I host all of my images on their site.

Nearly all ISPs will provide you with a certain amount of storage on their server at no charge so it's well worth checking with yours if you're not happy with Photobucket (never used it myself). 🙂

For gallery pics, I have them on my computer. On the odd occasion I want to put a pic in the description I use Photobucket.

[phorum_junkie*]

I always use a pic from my computer for the ebay first photo and gallery, that way if either ebay's service or my hosting site are down there will still be a photo.

For free templates just google or you can find ready made ones that are free to use on the robshelp.com site, you can easily adapt them to how you want them to look or it is easy enough to create your own. You can even store up to 10 on the site free of charge.

Image Shack is ok, organising pictures into folders / sub-folders isn't as easy as Photobucket, but I think they allow bigger image sizes with less compression during uploads.

I still use the old Photobucket as it's the only (free) site I've used so far that makes the direct URL to all images easily accessible. The beta site is the same as all the others I've tried, so getting the URL for images has to be done one at a time and requires at least one extra page load. (Sounds like a minor complaint, probably, but when you want quick and easy access to the URLs of 30+ images, that means minimum of 60 page loads whereas the old Photobucket means only 1 page load). 

If anyone knows of another site where the URLs are displayed on the same page, either directly on the page or by hovering over the image, I'd like to know about it too. ;\

Thank you for all replies 🙂

I can still edit photos in photobucket (with more time spent than used to) but it doesn't let me organise albums at all. It also doesn't let me drag drop pictures in forum page like before. And it doesn't give me html code by hovering over the image. I have to click through to get the code.

I can't understand why they changed to make everything difficult. They were working perfectly fine before they started to change here and there.

I got so frustrated for last 4 days or so after I discovered the site was completely changed.

But one good thing about it was I found a good photo resizing program which resize all photo in files in a few second. I used to resize photo in photobucket and it took quite a lot of time.

I still use photobucket for my store but I'm thinking about using ImageShack for Caturday pics if it's easy enough to use.

Can you not have them hosted by your own ISP? I'm with Optus and I host all of my images on their site.

I checked my ISP's website and couldn't find anything about photo hosting space. I'm not with major ones like Optus and Telestra. So I don't think they do it.
