No idea what you are talking about. Post more details and update your gallery.

You can't give ebay a link to a thumbnails page (or any html page), it wants an image link. 

For example (from your gallery), use http://photos.thesilvervine.net/albums/userpics/10001/normal_Camellia_Tray_001.jpg

within ebay I am tried to use the self hosting option for pictures using the following link back to my coppermine hosting site.

For whatever reason gallery of photos do not appear in the ebay auction listing.

Keep in mind I am a HUGE novice at this so please bear with my ignorance.

Thanks.

You need to link to the image, not the PHP-driven page that embedds the image.

Thank you.  What link enables me to show all the pictures?

None. You have to paste the links to the individual pics. That's part of how ebay works, so don't blame us.

thank you for your help.  Not blaming Coppermine at all....just trying to learn.  How do I identify the url of photos from different albums?

Do a right-click, properties on the pic you want to know the URL about.
