Q how do you change your font when selling?

i'm abit miffed as to how people change their font and style when selling products on ebay, i have tinkered around on numerous occasions and keep ending up selling items using the bulk standard settings. changing the font not only looks so much more appealing i think, but i think it may well attract other people when looking.
hope someone can help

    I use turbo lister which allows you to set your colour, font and pica. Great.

    Personally I create my own HTML and the method I use for changing font/style is to wrap the text I want in a <span> tag like this:

    <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; color: red;">This would be the text that's big, red and Arial and the next "span" closes the tag.</span>

    When you copy the above into the HTML editor that ebay supplies you should see the effect.. have a search for HTML tutorials on google and you should come up with plenty of easy to follow tutorials.

    Create your listing in Word. You can use any font and colour you like. Much easier to edit it too. Then just cut and paste into your listing. Easy.

    I use MS Word to create my listings and it works for me every time - can't understand why it shouldn't work for you :confused:
