ebay US now seems to have MUCH bigger photos as standard, also they have that scroll over plugin working in most categories. Ebay UK GET YOUR SLACK FINGERS OUT!
I just tend to hotlink/ html in some photos from photobucket at 1028x?? resolution into the description, doesn't cost and ebay don't mind.
As for the bike, yeah I saw it, but nearest person is about 90miles away and not at home right now. Grrr Would go for it, even £200. If your mate could do it, cash from him would be better, as £200 - 5% -10-15% sucks for the seller.
