I pulled all my photos from PB, and downloaded them to my external hard drive.

Thanks I will give imgur a go.  I only stayed with Photobucket out of laziness, and because I only used it for eBay and hardly ever list anything nowadays.  I used to use it many years ago for putting photos on various forums when it was the way to do it.  I did not even realise how many photos I had there - there were only couple of albums, eBay and others, but the others had lot of old pics that I lost when my computer crashed few years back.  So, thanks Photobucket, I now found them and it took me whole night to to rescue them.  🙂  And then I delete them from PB, now I will see if I can also close the account, just in case they will start sending me demands for money.  I have seen on some US boards that they totally messed up some people's eBay listings with notices plastered all over their listings demanding the $399.  Would not trust them.  Hope nobody is paying them.

I keep all my photos on my computer or external hard drive & only used photobucket to post photos on a few message boards I am on.

All the same, I probably had hundreds there. I am surprised they don't have a cheaper subscription option for those customers who only want to upload the occasional photo.

Well. IMGUR did not do too well, they do not allow anything to do with selling or advertising, and when I tried to put the photos into my template it just did not work  😞

There must be something, so many sellers use templates with pics.
