I'm not a Techie,

and I need direction.

Published on September 10, 2006 By adnauseam In Photography

As a hobby I buy and sell banknotes, mainly those from Africa. I want to sell some on e-bay but I'm not sure how to get the photos of notes onto e-bay. I am "yesterday's child" and don't even know how to use my new camera yet!

Once I have mastered the little camera (actually semi-mastered would be more accurate), I then need to get my photos transferred to e-bay and into the sales column. Does e-bay help you with this?

I sound like a real dork, I know, but when I ask my son he says: " It's easy. Press this, go there, press here, click, go back---and he does it so fast I can't keep up. The book is worse than useless because it assumes that people can understand everything in one page!

I'm not completely useless. I can change the valves in a radio and I can splice reel to reel tapes --I can even repair video-tapes. I can also tune a 1975 Philips TV and change the bag in the vaccuum cleaner but I'm beat when it comes to a tiny camera no bigger than a cigarette pack!

I'm going to bed tonight and figure out why I have been left behind. Tomorrow, I may get to use my wife's new printer but unfortunately it does not have valves!

Can anyone give me some direction?

I wish I could be of help to you with this, however I'm a dinosaur when it's tech stuff!
My son helps me too, if you haven't found out yet, eBay does indeed walk you through it and there's lots of info also from them on it.

a 1975 tv huh? can ya fix a tv from the 50's? I got one just taking up space on my living room floor! If I ever get this Windows 98 CD going, I'll have my scanner working again and then can send you some pix of it.

Good luck with your camera

Yikes! 98? That's almost a 10 year old OS.....

eBay walks you through just about everything. However, I think that they have a limit to the size of the photos that they will accept (unless they have started auto cropping them- not sure).

The only way to learn is to do it!
