I find that it's very time consuming, adding multiple pictures to the things
I have for sale. The process of uploading them to Bricklink, and adding them
to the items I have for sale is difficult and takes to much time.

I know the rules says, that it is not allowed to link outside Bricklink. But
is there another way to do it smarter ? Multiple pictures, describes the condition
better than words. And it's much easier for the buyer, to see if it's
something they want to buy, instead of waiting for the seller to sent pictures.

I wouldn't bother. A few words are usually just as good as a picture.

I disagree - a decent picture can be worth a thousand words.

As an example "Used with playware" doesn't come anywhere near to describing
an item whereas a good picture can clearly show how good/bad a part is.

I personally believe that linking to an external site is not the answer; what
happens if it disappears? etc. etc. I think the answer is to simplify the ability
to add pictures to BrickLink/your store.

I would link from my own onedrive, so it wont disappear. But I would rather have
that, that I could do it when adding a set/part.
