A few guidelines: Most image formats are acceptable except bitmap (.bmp) which is not compatible. It is best to use the description in your eBay ad for the title. Do not use any special characters in your title because the bump will not work properly and your auction will be removed. For SEO purposes you can use a good description for you image as well. Make sure you have selected the correct image because once it is submitted it cannot be changed. Most Bump Auction websites will only allow you to upload three auctions at one time, follow these rules and you will not get banned.
