HTML will not *do* anything, hence your problem. HTML is markup and not
a programing language, what you need is a server-side script. Easy to do
with PHP if your hosting supports server-side. Also if your hosting is
Apache and .htaccess is allowed your can turn on indexes for an image
folder, (no HTML) required.

BTW if you are just hosting your images on this site, you do not need a
HTML or a listing to host images for eBay. As long as *you* know the
url to the image when your enter your listing in eBay just enter it
directly:

http://www.example.com/myEbayImages/somePix.jpg
