If you create templates for eBay's auctions, you could have unwanted white space above your listing (and below the word DESCRIPTION).

 

Here's how to remove that space from your auction templates used for items that DO NOT include item specifics:

Step 1: place  this as the very first code in your auction template:

<style type="text/css">

<!--

p#eBayIDcandybusiness { position:relative; top: -26px; }
 -->

</style>

<p id= "eBayIDcandybusiness">

Step 2: place this as the last code in your template:

</p>

IMPORTANT:

1. When you go back to edit, the edit description button might be covered. Use the edit title to access the description edit.

2. In the above code, the number -26px can be changed to your liking. However,  be careful to not use this code to cover eBay's Description Bar or eBay's Item Specifics or any eBay function or feature.

IMPORTANT:

1. When you go back to edit, the edit description button might be covered. Use the edit title to access the description edit.

2. In the above code, the number -35px will probably need to be changed depending on your category. Some Item Specifics boxes are larger than others. If the -35px needs to be lower, you will use a higher number, possibly -45px. However,  be careful to not use this code to cover eBay's Description Bar or eBay's Item Specifics or any eBay function or feature.
