To enter the lot size:

Enter the number of items in a single listing into the Lot Size field.  For example, if you sell glass beads in lots of 12 per listing, you would enter "12".

 

To specify how pictures are hosted:

If you provided a Picture Host in your Profile, then you will have the option to check "I'll host my own pictures for this item.".  When checked, pictures will be uploaded to your FTP(File Transfer Protocol) - A common protocol for transfering files back and forth between computers over the internet. site.  When unchecked, pictures will be uploaded using EPS(eBay Picture Services) - service provided by eBay for hosting listing images. The first image per listing is free, and some categories charge for additional images..
