You can post pics however you want, but it's quite easy to do so with an Imgur account. Imgur is free.
Also, if you post in the Sell Your Stuff area, please use hosted pictures (Imgur, photobucket, etc) instead of using the insert picture option from the forum. The forum insert picture option inserts small pics and you have to click to enlarge them, taking someone off the forum. You want them to click on your item link, not your picture.
Open an Imgur account.
Log in.
Click on your user name in the top right corner.
Click on Images.
Click on Add Images.
Follow the prompts to upload your pictures (browse, drag drop, etc).
Once the pictures are uploaded, click on one you want to insert here (you will have to insert individually).
The picture will now be on the main screen. Select the size you want, at the bottom right side. Medium or large thumbnail work well for the SYS area, but you can play with it to see which size you prefer. Then click "copy" on the next to last option, "BBCode (message boards & forums)". See green highlighted areas below:
