What is the diff between drag and drop, and copy and paste?

I'm trying to post a photo on ebay. It tells me to drag and drop a photo. I try copy and paste. Doesn't work.

How does one drag and drop a photo that is already on eBay under another seller's listing to my eBay listing?

drag and drop means the image file has to be on YOUR device, not on the internet CurtEastPoint Yesterday #1

go to the desired image and right click and save it to your desktop THEN drag and drop it to your listing.
THis kinda stuff is best done on a real PC, not on a phone
