By using a few simple Html  tags and code you can create a better looking listing for your auctions. I will give some tips that can make your auctions look more professional without using a listing template.

 

The first and most easy step I can think of is using the space between your words and paragraphs. This is done really easy by using Html.

To add a space you use the code <br> And to add a paragraph you use <p> and put your text you want in the paragraph and close it with </p> 

 

I also feel that you should not be limited to only a few pictures in your auction listing . I feel the more photo's you show the better your auction will do . Adding more photos is pretty easy . You should upload them to your own space . This saves you  fee's and makes you more profit .

Once you have your photo's uploaded to your server space and your ready to start adding your photo's all you need is to add the Html code for images .

<IMG height=93 src="your image location goes here " width=283>

 

You will need to put in the height and width of your image in the code and add in the url for our image .

 

Another way to make your listing stand out is to use a list. It adds bullets and will bring attention to what your talking about . Does a great job with measurements for clothing items.

To add a bullet list you use the code

<ul>

<li> your text

<li> your text

<li> more text if needed

and to close it out you use

</ul>

I think just by adding a few of these things to your listings it will make them stand out more .

 

Hope this guide helps you in some way .
