Template Help

The template arrives to your email inbox attached to an email, you open the email and download and save the file. Once saved open the file and copy the whole code from top to bottom into your mouse.

Then go to your description editor as seen on the picture below, and click on Enter your own HTML, then you paste the code that you copied earlier into the box.

Spell Check Help

 

 

Once you have done this you then click back on the Standard Tab and you can then view you template and if there is music you can here it playing.

Now you are ready to start typing on your template, to type in your item description, postage details, and payment details, you have to click to the right hand side of the word, past where you can see the little square boxes for resizing, your curser should be flashing, then press return. Your curser should now be under the word Item Description, Payment details, Postage details, and you can start putting in your information.

The ebay description editor has a choice of fonts, colours for fonts, and sizes of fonts, so do experiment with them as all writing doesnt have to be black, ariel and small.

If there is too many photo spaces you just click to the side of the one you want to remove and delete it away, same thing goes with the divider bars.

If there is not enough photo spaces on the template then you can click on top of the divider bar and then right click and select copy from the menu, then go to where you want it and paste.

You can add as many photos as you wish to every template and it doesnt cost you photo listing fees, just your normal listing fee, Thats whats good about using templates too.

Above is a diagram of the first paragraph editor on the page forget about the Page Title bit. You then click on:

enter your own HTML

Then you paste your code for your about me page that I sent you into the box below the tab, and then click the standard tab. You will be able to view your About Me page at this point, now you can begin typing on it. You don't type anything below the word feedback or below the word items for sale as once you submit the about me page your feedback and current items for sale will appear in the spaces underneath.

Once you have finnished typing on the template, under the word About Me and Shipping, you don't fill in any of the other parts on the page ie paragraph 2, add pictures, show your ebay activity,add links. You then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click continue. I have used my own about me page as an example Below is what you will see next:

Select a page layout from the three shown here (Layout A is shown below).

 Layout "A"
Layout "B"
Layout "C"

Just leave the layout as it is on A. There is a submit button here also but dont click on that one, scroll down below and click that submit button:

Preview - Here's what your page will look like.

 About Me: mandamac0( 417Feedback score is 100 to 499) About Me LAYOUT A



The above page is maintained by: mandamac0( 417Feedback score is 100 to 499) About Me

Above you will also be able to see your about me page in the box this is only an example.

  If you like this layout, click the Submit button. To make changes, click the Back button below.

    

 

Your new About Me page is now made up and if you click on the link you can view it or on your About Me next to your ebay ID.
