Default eBay Auction Tools - Please Advise?

Hi all,

Just been looking at what i can do to improve my own eBay shop & have noticed that many other shops are using extra pics as instructions (but not charged for extra gallery pics)...

For example this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6m-x-3m-Weddin...d=p3286.c0.m14

If you scroll down you may notice the following:
* 5 STAR SERVICE
* SHIPPING ZONE GRID

These sections feature little pics & illustrations which is what i'm trying to do, rather than flooding my listings with text. Can anyone please advise on how to do this rather than paying for auction templates? i've tried uploading my pics into photobucket & then copying the html code but it doesn't show up on my listings

Any help will be much appreciated

Best regards,
Steve

It's just HTML. When you create a listing in the description bit there's a tab to change it to HTML.

It's fairly easy to learn if you have a couple of nights to spare. Just google html lesson and you'll be well on your way.

Or you can use a template like Auctiva they turn out fairley decent. I only pay for one image (which is free so technically I don't pay for any) and have 6 or 7 which you can supersize (at no extra charge to me), just link to them in the HTML.

Save yourself loads in listing fee's if you spend a couple of nights learning it, I couldn't dream of not knowing it and paying for the extra's ebay offer!

Just read that you've tried linking to them in the HTML. If it doesn't work then your doing something wrong, read up a couple of lessons and try again...
