Well, you don't.  :-)  You have to either send it to the image gallery here (which will take a day or two to get validated and posted) or you upload it to a web hosting server and then link to it.

My first guess would be a ram expansion card. Maybe for the a500, side slot?

The card has 2 rom chips that say MiniMegs on them but
the back of the card says 'Expansion Systems'.
I checked Amiga Hardware, there is no listing of this
card there. It does look like an A500 or A1000 ram card.
I had bought it for the ram chips but I don't think my
skills are up to de-soldering these chips so I'll
probably put it back on EBay, I Would like to know what
I'm trying to sell though.

No case..... just what you see.
Doesn't look like its ever been mounted in a case.

Well it *should* look like this:

If you look carefully, at the bottom left is the two LED lights.  

The card you have is the Minimegs 2MB for the A500, from M.A.S.T.
