Some auctions that I view they have on much larger pictures in there auctions than mine. Is there a way threw AW when listing a auction to have your pictures go on larger without haveing to "click on to enlarge".

If you go into "My Account" and select Global Preferences, you can scroll all the way down the page.
Uncheck "Automatically scale down large images for faster download and cleaner presentation" and you should not get the "tiny" image.
BUT - if you have a very large jpg, that page is/could take a VERY looonng time to load - and folks might not want to wait that long, and you could lose out on some bids.
So, try it out first - clear your browser's cache, then see how long the "quick preview" takes for you.

Kahml:
Thank you for your help. I tried it on a relisting auction and it didn't work, so I started a new auction.(a trial auction)The pictures were full size and so the was whole auction page. It made the whole thing to big to stay on the screen without moveing the page to the left and right to view the whole thing. Yuck! It's to bad that their isin't a happy medium. At least now I know how to do it. Thank's again.

The obvious answer is to size your images *before* uploading them, almost any graphics program will do this. If they are too large in terms of memory (over 50KB or so), and you don't have an image optimization program, you can do it for free, here:

You dont have to use pics that AW hosts. If you have space elsewhere you can use pictures hosted from there. I dont like the face that with AW the thumbnail and big picture are one and the same. I like my nails to be a peak at the product. The link can be to anything. Of course you have to be willing to do a bit more in ad prep, but I think it is worth it.

Here is an Adobe web based site to optimize or resize pics for the web. Nothing to download and very easy to use.

BananaSpider,
Your websight was a great help. I will play hit and miss until I figure out just the right size picture to put on. Thank you so much!

From your picture editing software, I would suggest your goal is to make the picture no more than 400 pixels (not inches) high or 600 pixels wide. This is the size of a small monitor.
Maximum size of images, for fast uploading, should be 50k.
