What your Ebay page looks like, if you do nothing fancy would that lose you sales?

I just have a gallery pic and writing, if i need extra pics i copy & paste them in the description. I don't want to waste money on borders and silly things if i don't need to, it gets ridiculously expensive for all that.

What are your opinions on it?

I totally understand where you're coming from with regards to all the fees, however as long as you put time an effort into creating a good selling template on Ebay you can't really go wrong.

I would say having a gallery pic and good detailed accurate description is key to a good listing.

You don't need to pay for eBay extras (designed layout for example) but you definitely want to make your listing look good - it's easy achievable if you have some basic knowledge in HTML - it doesn't cost a single penny :-)

making your listing look good is a very smart idea. If it looks professional, and is a little bit more expensive than a cruddy looking one, i'd prolly go for the pro

Thanks for that, I'm going to try some things out and see what i get. Personally it doesn't matter to me, i just look at the gallery pic and feedback, it's the item i'm after not a fancy page.

Yeah, on trademe.co.nz we dont have fancy pages.. I think its good

The price is the most important thing as far as im concerned. Followed by feedback.

Have to disagree with everyone here - I paid almost a grand for frooition to do me a fancy web page and my sales have accelerated dramatically despite the fact that I have added 15 to 20% to my prices to pay for the design.

Wow hardwareheros well done! Whats ur ebay user??

mods, are we allowed to ask members for their ebay user to look at this or is it advertising on their part?
