Cannot upload picture from hard drive to eBay sandbox with API – Ebay API

I tried to upload my picture but it didn’t work. I know sandbox doesn’t support photos but I mean inside the sandbox listing there is main photo. Other sellers have a main photo so there must be a way.

My code compiles without an error but there just isn’t a photo when I go to the sandbox. Here is the code I’m using: 

apiCall.PictureFileList = new StringCollection();
apiCall.PictureFileList.Add(@"C:UsersDannyDesktopdeleteMeBiggerEbayPic.jpg");
item.PictureDetails = new PictureDetailsType();
item.PictureDetails.GalleryType = GalleryTypeCodeType.Gallery;

    I decided to try the original code again and to my surprise it worked. Maybe I did something wrong but I cant be bothered checking, its working now. Here is the code:

                //Set the Picture Server URL for Sandbox 
            apiContext.EPSServerUrl = "https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/api.dll";
            //For production use this URL 
            //context.EPSServerUrl = "https://api.ebay.com/ws/api.dll"; 


            //Set file path of the picture on the local disk  
            apiCall.PictureFileList = new StringCollection();

            apiCall.PictureFileList.Add(@"C:UsersDannyDesktopMyGalleryPicOnHardDrive.jpg");

            //To specify a Gallery Image 
            item.PictureDetails = new PictureDetailsType();
            //The first picture is used for Gallery URL 
            item.PictureDetails.GalleryType = GalleryTypeCodeType.Gallery;

            //To add more pictures 
            //apiCall.PictureFileList.Add(@"C:TEMPpic2.gif");

    Afaik you can’t upload pictures from your local hard-drive using the eBay SOAP API. You need to sepcify a public URL where eBay can download the image from.

    BTW: The sandbox supports photos, the only thing it doesn’t support are gallery images.
