More About Intarsa™ Galleries



I don't have a web site. Can I use the Intarsa Gallery?

Yes, you can use the Intarsa Gallery without having a web host or web site.

  • The intarsa Gallery hosts your photos. So you don't have to.
  • You can paste the Gallery html wherever you post content. In email, on FaceBook, in eBay listings.


    • I can store my pictures in a free PhotoBucket account. Why is the Intarsa Gallery better?

    You can use PhotoBucket for eBay listings and the like. But it's simpler and more flexible to use Intarsa Gallery.

  • The intarsa Gallery is a clickable gallery. When you have multiple photos of something, all of the thumbnails appear beside the main view. That lets you see at a glance all the available photos, and switch immediately to the ones you want to see.
  • Intarsa is easier to use. Intarsa Gallery automatically makes photos in proper viewing sizes.
  • You retain exclusive rights to your photos. PhotoBucket will license other people to use your photos, without paying you. You might see your PhotoBucket images of Depression Era glass in somemone else's cofee table book!
  • PhotoBucket distracts from your business. Intarsa Gallery gives you control over where you gallery links to. You can arrange fo the links to lead to your web site. If your customer should land on an Intarsa Gallery view web page, most of the content is about you and your item. Intarsa landing pages don't contain advertising for your competitors.


    • I'm an eBay Stores subscriber and I can upload 12 photos for free. How do I benefit by using the Intarsa Gallery?

    Intarsa Galleries have several benefits for eBay stores merchants

  • You put Intarsa Galleries where they are seen, in the body of your listing. eBay puts their photos at the top of the page, out of sight of someone who is reading your description.
  • You retain exclusive rights to your photos.
    With eBay, when you upload any photo to eBay, you give eBay the right to license your photo to other people and eBay pockets all the money.
  • More photo sizes. Intarsa Gallery gives your customers a cholce of 5 sizes. eBay gives you only 2 sizes.
  • Use the same gallery off-eBay. eBay photos only work on eBay. If you also sell elsewhere you will save time and hassle if you use the same photos everywhere.
  • eBay is famous for changing prices. If eBay goes back to charging 15¢ per photo, are you ready to revise all of your listings on short notice?
