Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I just started selling on ebay. When I hit the browse button to get the pics I took of the item, iphoto is lightened and not available to click on. I have to drag every photo onto my desktop beforehand so I can access them.

You seem to confuse "easily" with "the way I expect".
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

It'll show you how to easily find and share your photos.
Been using iOS since around 2006,
How does the iPhone operating system relate to this topic and problem?

You need to have a photo or album highlighted / selected / open, then hit file - export.
I was very frustrated by this for a bit. I was also able to get into the library by selecting file - reveal in finder - original file, then was able to drag and drop the masters folder to a backup disk.

Bad idea - going into the iPhoto library directly is NOT supported and is very dangerous - you should only use the supported access methods - either export or the media browser - How to Access Files in iPhoto
and as to exporting - obviously you can not export a photo until you first select it - clearly you need to select the photo(s) and then you export them - not possible to do it in reverse

Why is my iphoto library grayed out when I browse for pictures to upload on ebay?
