Well, that's the problem. On the mobile phone, it uses an image from the Gallery and you don't have a say in the size of the image or even any way to tell. You could send or copy the photo to a computer and I'd guess it is over one meg in size

I too, have seen that from a computer.

I was surprised that the phone even offered to use a photo from the phone's Gallery to upload to the ad. I expected that it wouldn't do that.

But the phone takes photos one size fits all. And you don't get to edit it for bytes.

When sending a photo in a message or email app on the phone the phone will ask you what size you wish to send. But in the Classifieds it doesn't offer any size choices.

When you send an image from your Gallery to your computer via email you get a name like photo.jpg and photo1.jpg.

I've just figured out a work around for this -- you take a photo with the phone or a photo in the Gallery, and you send it to yourself in an email. And you select the "smallest" size available. Then you open the email and save the phone in your email to your gallery. Then you create the ad with the small size photo and it works perfectly.

Too bad the small, med, large photo size option isn't displayed when you use a photo from the Gallery originally.

Thanks for the help. This isn't a bug.
