mouser:
here is how "enlargeable" images on webpage are "usually" done.

typically you have 2 pictures.
you have your original picture, and then you make a tiny version of it (a thumbnail).
then on your web page (or in your ebay listing) you would do something like:

--- ---<a href="mypicture.jpg"> <img src="mypicture_thumbnail.jpg"/> </a>
it can be done with a single picture as well, but it's typically done using 2 pictures, one large one and one thumbnail.  so that html code above shows the thumbnail picture "mypicture_thumbnail", and if they click on it they will be shown the main big picture "mypicture_thumbnail.jpg".

i don't know to what extent the ebay listing system helps you with such things.
i know there are shareware programs to help you post listings.
maybe there are freeware tools also.

mouser:
nice free tool to help you post ebay listings, made by ebay themselves:

mouser:
there are also a lot of 3rd party web sites that offer various tools and services to sellers, some free, some not.
for example:

if there was a need for a small amount of low-bandwidth hosting of images by members, this might be something we could set up as a way to say thank you to members.

nudone:
i don't think there will be a problem with ebay hosting the images - you are paying them for such an option after all.

it's probably a good idea to resize the images you are going to use before uploading them to your auction page - if they are too big you won't be able to upload them anyway but getting them about the right size in the first place will make things quicker.

zridling:
Check out PhotoFiltre, which will provide you with a tool you'll probably want to keep.
