How do I do this? I have a pic that is too big (its about 2mb) for eBay. The eBay limit is 600k. How can I reduce the size of my pic? Can I use photoshop?

do it in paint, half the size of the picture by pressing on Image, then stretch/skew, then in the stretch bit reduce down to 50% in both the boxes. And if its a .bmp save the pic as a jpeg as this reduces the file size too. it may reduce the quality of the pic but the file size is smaller
