HP gets in the eBay picture

Hewlett-Packard on Thursday announced a deal to provide digital-camera advice to eBay users. The company will provide an "HP Digital Photography Zone" area on eBay's Web site that shows ways to take, share and print photos for both eBay auctions and personal use.

"Digital photography is an essential component of a good item listing on eBay," eBay vice president Gary Dillabough said in a statement. "Teaming up with HP extends the opportunity for our community members to learn more about how to take better photos and enhance their listings on eBay by maximizing the use of digital photography."
