I want to up load some pictures to the for sale section on this site. Do you have any recommendations on who to use.
Many thanks for your help.

I use Flickr, although I think getting the photo URL via their mobile app isn't possible. Trivial via desktop.

I use Photobucket but don't recommend it as it's painfully slow.

+1.
It used to be good. Now it's awful - really slow & hits you with adverts whenever you try to do anything.

Anecdotally, Photobucket links don't seem to be permanent in the strictest sense either. On the old threads on here with missing / broken images, a lot of them seem to be Photobucket (could just be that it was popular at the time though).

We've had very occasional issues on the forum with people reporting "viruses" which have been Photobucket links. Probably false positives, but still.

Looked a while back to link with a blog, Flickr and Instagram were the narrowed down options.

Ended up using Instagram for the blog as it just worked better for that purpose, will keep Flickr for the stuff I have to sell once in a blue moon.
