Finding and transferring pictures on computer
I have a folder titled ebay for pictures of things I want to sell on ebay. When I look at the folder under the Kodak EasyShare software, all of the pictures are there, including the ones I recently took. When I click on the Browse feature when I'm trying to list something on ebay, the ebay folder I get only displays old pictures--not the ones I'm trying to show. I can't figure out how to get them into that folder, and why the ebay folders are different. I thought that once I label a folder, it's the same folder. Why would be on different places on my computer, and how can I transfer everything to the right folder.

When I contacted Kodak for help, the advice it gave me didn't work.

My camera is a Kodak EasyShare C530.

I asked about this a year ago, and even the advice I got then, which worked then, didn't work this time.

It sounds as though you have more than one Ebay folder.
Easy Share images are typically located at something like My Docs/My Pics/Easy Share/Ebay (For example)
You might have a folder at My Docs/My Pics/Ebay
This would be a completely different folder, even though the name looks similar.
FWIW, the name of a file includes the entire path.

Finding the pictures
I'm sure you're right. This raises two questions: How do I transfer the pictures from the EasyShare ebay folder to the other one? Or else, how do I get to the EasyShare ebay folder when I click on the Browse button?

"Browse" gives you access to every folder on your computer.
Typically, your ebay images folder will be located in My Docs/My Pics, but you could have put it anywhere.
It might be worth studying the Windows Folder system a bit, as you'll be using it for a long time.
http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=24588
To transfer the pics, open the containing folder, select all (Ctrl-A), Copy (Ctrl-C).
Open the destination folder, Paste (Ctrl-V).
It's my experience that many people don't understand the file/folder system, but it's very simple and logical and time spent studying it will be rewarded.

I couldn't do it
I was able to select all and copy, but when it came time to paste the pictures in the other folder, the Paste function was disabled.

No folder for Easy Share pictures
There is an EasyShare icon on my computer, but that folder is nowhere to be found under the My Documents or My Pictures section of my computer, and there is no Send To function that is enabled.

Here is the file name
This is the filename for the EasyShare folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Kodak Pictures\ebay\

Create another folder in My Pictures (not in kodak pictures) called ebay2 and try again.

Typically, this means that the copy function didn't take (There's nothing in memory, so nothing to paste).

I was finally able to do it
I was also contacting Kodak about this problem, and once it understood what I was trying to do, it provided the solution shown below, which enabled me to do it:

Please follow this procedure to copy the pictures to the My Pictures.
1. Open Kodak EasyShare software
2. Drag all pictures to be copied to your harddrive to the Picture Tray (right column)
3. Click File
4. Click Copy to
5. Select the Folder where the picture will be copied to
6. Click Copy
