How do I edit my About Me page?

If you scroll down to the very bottom of your about me page, you will see a link that says "To create your own About Me page, click here." Click on the link and then push the 'Edit Your Page' button. You may then select whether you want to use ebay's about me page form or create your own page using html.


I want to enter my own html on my About Me page. How do I post a basic text link?

<a href="your url here">Your Text Here</a>


How do I post a picture?

The code for images is <img src="url of image">. Be sure to include a space in between each picture or else it may stretch the viewers page. If you would like one image to be on top of another place one or two <br> in between the image codes. for example:


<img src="http://www.mypicturehost.com/george.gif"> <img src="http://www.mypicturehost.com/emma.gif">





<img src="http://www.mypicturehost.com/george.gif">
<br><br>
<img src="http://www.mypicturehost.com/emma.gif">


How do I post a link to a picture?

<a href="your url here"><img src="url of image"></a>
If you notice though, by doing this there is often a border around the image. this border can be removed by using <a href="your url here"><img src="url of image" border="0"></a>.


I want people to be able to click on my image and view it in a new window. How do I do this?

<a href="your url here" target="_blank"><img src="url of image"></a>


How do I add a custom page to my store?

Go to My eBay and scroll down to the My Subscriptions table on the left side. Click on 'Manage My Store' and then click on 'Custom Pages'. Under the Active Pages section click on 'Create a new page'. Once you are there select what type of layout you would like. If you would like a page coded with your own html then select '1 Text Section / HTML'. Click continue and fill in the information you want on your page and when you are done click the 'Save and Publish' button on the last page. You will now be redirected back to the custom page. If you would like the page you have just created to be your store landing page then scroll down to the 'Store Homepage' section. Select your page name from the drop down menu and click the 'Apply' button.


How do I add a custom header to my store?

Go to My eBay and scroll down to the My Subscriptions table on the left side. Click on 'Manage My Store' and then click on 'Display Settings'. Under the Theme and Display section click on 'Change to another theme'. Once you are there select the 'Custom Header Only' template then go back to the display settings page. Scroll down to the Store header display section and click on 'Change'. Make sure you select 'Yes, include additional information in the header. (Enter below)' then type in your header information in the box. When you are done, click the 'Save Settings' button.


Why is my store header showing on my about me page and how can I remove it?

If you have a header selected for your store it shows up on all of your store pages by default, including any custom pages and your about me page. Currently, the only way to remove it from one page of your store is by creating custom pages and manually coding the header information into each page you want it to show on. If you don't want to go through the hassle of doing this, either remove the header all together or incorporate it into your about me page.


How do I move an auction to a different category in my store? Is html required to do this?

Go to My eBay and click on the 'selling' link. Select the items you wish to move to a new category by clicking on the box next to their name and then click the 'Edit' button located at the top or bottom of the list. When you get to the next page select 'Edit listings individually' and click continue. After you do this, a page will come up with your auctions that allows you to change the basic information about them, including main store category and second store category. If you want to move everything to the same category or change every auction to be the same price, for example, then you can select 'Edit listings in bulk' and change every auction you selected in one simple step.

How do I turn off the frame at the top of my auctions that displays my store logo?

Go to My eBay and scroll down to the My Subscriptions table on the left side. Click on 'Manage My Store' and then click on 'Listing Frame' under the Marketing Tools section. Select 'Don't show my Store listing header and left-navigation bar in my listings.' Then scroll to the bottom of the page and either preview the frame or apply it. If you want the frame to show in your listings, select either 'Show my Store listing header and left-navigation bar in my listings' or 'Show my Store listing header in my listings' and choose what information you would like to be shown.


The html in my auction isn't working. Only the code is showing. What do I do?

When you're listing an auction and you get to the part where you enter a description there are two options. There is a standard window and an html window. Make sure you have the html tab selected before you type a single word or your coding will show in your listing.
