If you need to reduce the size of your image you should find that most photo editing software will have a command for changing the pixel dimensions of an image.
Look for a command called "Image Size," "Resize," or "Resample." When you use this command you will be presented with a dialog box for entering the exact pixels you wish to use. Around 800 should be good.
Another trick you can try is to right click on the file then select Send To > Mail Recipient. A window will pop-up and you can select make my pictures smaller and select Ok. Your email client will open up. You should see the reduced picture file in the attachment section. Just copy and paste it to your desktop and upload your picture to the site.
If you need help please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks,

To bid on an item, type your maximum bid amount in the box next to the item description, and click the 'Go' button. Your bid must be above the Minimum Bid amount specified in the box.
You will be asked to confirm your bid. Click 'Submit' to complete your bid.
Note*** Maximum bid and proxy bid are the same thing. To place a proxy bid, just enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay. Automatic bids will be placed for you up to your maximum amount. Using proxy bidding, you can win the item at the lowest possible price. Your maximum bid is only placed when a competing bidder bids the same amount.
Please note that if the current high bidder's maximum bid is higher than the bid you place, you are immediately outbid because your bid is not high enough to beat the earlier maximum bid. Remember: Proxy bidding will confidentially & automatically bid up to your maximum, but in order to avoid being outbid, you must have the highest maximum bid. Also, if another bidder placed a higher maximum bid, your bid will increase to your maximum bid because proxy bidding bids on your behalf up to your maximum bid.

Feedback represents your permanent reputation as an SBSS member. It’s made up of comments and ratings left by other SBSS members you've bought from and sold to. These comments and ratings, along with your overall Feedback Score, are available in your Feedback Profile.
How Feedback works
For each transaction, buyers and sellers can choose to rate each other by leaving Feedback. Feedback from buyers can consist of a positive, negative or neutral rating, and a short comment. Feedback from sellers can consist of a positive rating and a short comment. These ratings are used to determine Feedback Scores. With some exceptions, Feedback works like this:
-
A positive rating increases the Feedback Score by one point.
-
A neutral rating leaves the Feedback Score the same.
-
A negative rating decreases the Feedback Score by one point
Dutch Auctions are used to sell multiple quantities of the same item. They allow sellers to sell the same item in various quantities as one single lot in an auction. With a Dutch Auction the items do not have to be listed separately saving time. In a Dutch Auction, all the winning bidders pay the same price. The final price is determined by the lowest winning bid. So, even if your bid is higher than the lowest winning bid, you will still pay the lower amount. The highest bidders of the available quantities win, and the lowest bid within the group of winners sets the final price. As an example, if three people bid on one of three items, the price each bidder would pay would be the third highest bidder's bid amount and each would receive one item as per their bid. If there are multiple buyers bidding on various quantities in a lot the highest bidders are the ones that get first service. The highest bidders' request for their quantities will be honored, while quantities last. In other words, the lowest winning bidder may not get the quantity they wanted. Therefore, it is not always good to be the lowest successful bidder. The highest bidder will get theirs first which may leave you with just one item, or an amount less than you wanted. If you want more than one of an item in a Dutch Auction don't be stingy with your maximum bid. By maximizing your bid you may win your requested quantitiy and pay the lowest winning bid price instead of paying the lowest bid price with only one item.
