Some users are running into problems when uploading a photo for their classified ad listing.

The #1 reason for an error message during a photo upload has to do with the photo size.  Many of the new digital cameras (bigger than 5 MegaPixels) default to their highest photo size setting which can create photos anywhere from 3MB to 8MB in size. 

Prior to uploading your photo, try resizing it first on your computer to a smaller size.  Then do the upload.  Not only will this prevent error messages, but uploading a small file is Quick!
