Is there a way I can do this?

You can post the first 2 images via the SOR upload function. Then you can use HTML code to place the next 10 images in the "description" area. I can supply the code if you need it. You will need to have the images stored somewhere (like photobucket - if you do not have online storage available, I can show you how to store your images on SOR and then access them with HTML). Let me know via email or SOR message if you need my assistance.

Why not just merge the images / scans into one using an image processing tool like GIMP? Granted, the image size (and maybe also the file size, but that can be easily reduced by compression) will be large, but interested buyers will be able to view everything.

Image size on the auction board is limited to 350kb or less. Merging two files and then reducing them to a postable size would very likely result in a very poor image or one where the stamps are too small to be viewed accurately. It is much easier to place additional images into the auction description area.

"Image size on the auction board is limited to 350kb or less."
I hope you meant 350kB (350 kilo-bits would be a real pain)! To some extent one could use image processing tricks to reduce the overall size, but I agree - five letter-size pages, full of stamps, will be really hard to cram into 350kB.
Personally, I avoid buying from sellers who do this (eg. eBay, where some sellers post "additional" images at third party sites) because it provides me no protection. If the sale material received is not as described, then the only reference is what was on the auction page.

I would like to post an auction collection consisting of 12 imaged pages.
Is there a way I can do this?
