OK, well, I do not know what image processing Tradera does to
the uploaded pictures... :-) My Python script simply reads the JPG,
run a Base64 encoding and sends it trough the SOAP API. It's more
or less a similar API that eBay uses, eBay owns Tradera b.t.w.

Anyway, my whole point was that these JPGs are stored on VMS
for a reason. :-)
