For many ebay sellers it makes sense to use auction templates
to list their items, instead of having no design at all. Using
a pre-designed ebay auction template allows you to present
your
product in a professional way. In fact, recent research has
shown that visitors stay longer on a well designed website
compared to amateurish looking one. Well, this very same
principle it also true for your eBay auction listing. The
better your ebay auction listing looks, the longer they stay
on
your site and the greater is the chance that they place a bit.
Watch your own buying behaviour when you buy something on
eBay.
You'll be surprised why you placed a bid on a particular item.
Another big advantage of using ebay auction templates is, that
even an absolute beginner and eBay newbie can use it and
launch
professional eBay auction listing instantly. Furthermore, you
can re-use the same template over and over again. You can just
add the text and description, upload the new pictures, make a
link to the pictures in your new auction listing and you are
ready to go. The best thing is that you can leave other
details, like contact information, shipping details, company
policy, payment instruction and a link to your 'about me' page
all in place. There is no need for you to re-write it. This
saves you precious time. You don't need to know a lot of HTML.
In fact modifying existing auction templates is easy as 1-2-3:
You read the template file into your preferred WYSIWYG HTML
editor. I personally love the 'Composer' program from
Netscape.
It's free and has many features that only expensive HTML
editor
programs offer. The big advantage of designing your auction
listing offline is that you have full control on the design
process. I had many ugly looking auction sites, because I
wanted to save time and use Internet Explorer, logged into my
eBay account and tried to list an item online - 'on-the-fly'.
Big mistake! In fact, it took longer and the outcome was not
convincing at all. I then decided to design the auction
listing
‘offline’ first. I have used several HTML editor programs
before
but after I have tried Netscape 'Composer' I haven't looked
back
to any other HTML editor. When I am happy with the site, I
just
save the source code to my hard disk and I can always re-use
this template. Then you simply copy and paste the source code
into the ‘eBay description’ box when you list your item. It’s
just very easy…
There are thousands of ebay auction sites and even though
there
may be more than one ebay auction listing using the
pre-designed
auction template you choose, the likelihood of a visitor and
potential buyer seeing both sites is not great. Every ebay
auction site is unique in the products it presents. EBay
auction templates present your item quickly and professionally
without the hassle of designing an eBay auction listing from
scratch.
