I want to add photos w/ thumbnails to my listing without paying those silly ebay fees.

I wrote a simple javascript onclick event which when you click on a thumbnail on the listing page, would call window.open on the full image. this worked under ebay's preview but it wont let me save it because it is complaining about prohibited javascript (probably the window.open)

but ebay specifically states that opening things in new window is OK..

HTML or JavaScript that creates automatic ?pop-ups? (exception - links that open in a new window when clicked on)

so i tried even more basic solution which was wrap my thumbnail image in an anchor tag with target="_blank" and even though it works fine under a normal browser it DOES NOT work under ebay's preview, so I'm not even trying to save it...

what can i do to get this to work?
