When it says that a file is too big, it means the file size, not the dimensions of the photo.
If your photo is in an uncompressed format (for example, .bmp or .tif), it will have a large file size even if it is a small photo. Change it to a JPEG or a PNG and it will have a smaller file size.
You can do this with any image editing program.
If you don't have one, here's a program specifically for converting BMPs to JPEGs.

Alternatively, you can download the GIMP at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). It allows you to edit image files and also save them as different formats.
If you don't want to download anything, Microsoft Paint will work, but if that's what you're using, save it as a PNG (open the file, go to File > Save As..., and choose PNG in the drop-down box under the place where you put the file name) because JPEGs saved by Paint are usually of a low quality.

I know I just went through that, and finally I managed to get a photo listed. It has to be real small, I had to minimize down to 125 by 90 pixels to get it to be accepted. Not much of a photo. Although they certainly look bigger on the screne here on the site. Anyway. If you photo is sitting on your desktop, right click on it, and a menu will come up, go to "properties" on the bottom of the menu, open that. It will tell you all about your picture, including how many K's it is. If it is more than 15Ks. it won't be accepted.
Need to make it smaller.
