Photoshoped photo on facebook = pixelated photo. WHY?

When I create a banner in photoshop (851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall) (300psi) I save it as a jpeg and I upload it to FaceBook as a cover photo and it gets a little pixelated. I upload it to PhotoBucket and it comes out clear.
Is this a problem with what i am doing or is it a FaceBook issue?
If it is something I am doing, what is it?
I have tried 300psi and 72psi with the same results.

People use the word, "pixelated" in quite different ways, so, in the absence of an example image, I may not understand exactly what problem you are facing. However, I suspect it may be the same problem as described in this thread:
http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-web/48789-blurry-parts-picture.html

Read through it, and if you are having a different problem, post an image that shows the before and after change, and we'll look into it further.

It is facebook im pretty sure, it automatically decreases the quality for cover/banner images.

Danny, in case you hadn't noticed, this thread is a couple of weeks old, and the problem with Facebook that you mentioned was discussed extensively in the even older thread cited in post #2 of this thread.

Don't feel bad -- I inadvertently reply to dead threads at least once every week or two and always get ribbed about it, LOL.
