Although you cannot revise an auction if there are 12 hours or less to go on it, and you cannot upload pics via ebay's photo hosting, you can "add" to the description.
I have uploaded the photos of items ending today to my photobucket.com account, and have used the Revise Description in ebay, under the HTML tag, to add the following line:
Apparently our image host is experiencing technical difficulties, and we apologize. Below are pictures of the item for sale. Any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
followed by the pics themselves.
They show up at the very end of the auction, so users will have to scroll all the way down to see them, but I figure it is better than nothing, which is what I have now.
(I did post this information in another thread, so forgive me if you are seeing it repeated twice, however I felt that it got lost in the petty bickering between users on that thread)
Hi laurafromla: How do you post pictures from photobucket to ebay. I have 14 items ending in a few hours, and I am really frustrated. I know how to post pictures to photobucket, but I don't know how to transfer those pictures to ebay. Could you please direct me? Thanks.

Great save! but woo hoo, I can't use it, eBay does not even allow add to description with less than twelve hours to go.
under each photobucket pic are some codes, you want the one that says HTML code. click on it and it will copy it for you. in the auction revision area, where you are adding to the description, be sure to click the HTML tab, then paste the HTML there.
if you want some spaces between pics, you can put the code < br > (no spaces between the < and the br) after each pic's code.
but this was posted a little earlier on another thread by: efilnikcufecin
Maybe this will help also:
That is a great solution. you should be able to get a photo bucket account easily enough if you don't have a website already set up. Upload your images go into the listing you want to change the images in on auctiva, select Image Hosting: Auctiva[ switch to externally hosted images ] then add the photo bucket link to your listing. Save the listing,then find the listing on the saved listings page it should be on the top if you have the listings sorted by the last time they were modified, to the right of the listing you will see <HTML> click that, a pop up will com up with the new HTML code for that listing, click select all, copy the code, go to ebay, open the listing you want to revise, click revise listing and past the code into the description box, save the changes and you now have a listing with working images. iT takes a little time to do but it's better than sitting here wasting time trying to figure out what happened. NO?
I just had ebay let me add a description (and the flickr html for my photo) to an auction ending in 7 hours. Worked perfectly. I did not have any bids yet.
