How can I have a listing designer like this?

babybimbles

Am I allowed to cut and paste a link?

The seller has a lovely border with her pictures, i've seen quite a few do this and it's not one of the ebay designs. Where can I find this?

thanks!

If you go into https://www.ebay.com (not uk) and search for auction template you will be able to buy a similar one for £5 to £10 , the seller will send you all the details by email, its fairly straightforward

I'm going to be negative here.

Now I know there are a certain band of buyers who want to see outsize Pink text (barf) designed for the visually impaired, balloons, hearts, princesses, castles and Tiara's, but that is the kind of listing that puts me off bothering to even scroll down, in fact, for such a simple listing, I shouldn't have to scroll at all. I want to see the goods, a description, and all in a nice simple format. There is just far too much clutter in that listing. JMHO.

I am sorry Tojo Ralph but I disagree, I think it is lovely to see a well presented listing! if the item is for something like a pretty dress this listing would appeal very much to me and other people in the same range.....(Young mums etc). If I could be bothered to put them in my auctions I would!!!

I am all for well presented and informative, but listings like make it all too easy to detract from the facts, such as, although this item is listed as New: Without Tags it is in fact.. "shop soiled, no longer appears new, is a Monsoon second and has had the labels cut out of it!!!"

As I say, it's just my opinion, and what I wish to see.

I agree with Tojo Ralph on this one....that listing was :eek: I'm not interested how an auction is presented so long as all the facts are there.

I clicked on one that had a magician following my cursor everywhere on the page telling me all about the sellers other auctions, instead of encouraging me to look further it had the opposite effect of making me close down the page as quickly as possible.

Must have been the same one I went on!! That sorta thing is really annoying and I wouldn't bother with that, but a simple auction with a pink background and a few pink fairys is sweet!! I don't mean overdone but just nicely presented!

If you see listings like this they have normally used some software. You need to look for the link which in this case is:- The Seller Sourcebook I haven't looked into this further but I imagine you have to pay for it. Otherwise you can design your own on a program such as frontpage.

I like a nicely presented auction but at the end of the day too much use of colour and twee patterns makes me susupicious about what the seller is covering up.

In the example shown all that fancy listing appears to be covering up a seller that has received negs, neutrals and positives (????) complaining about the quality and description of items. I think the seller should spend more time making sure the listing is accurate and getting makes and sizes correct, than turning the page pink which I found a little difficult to read.

I did once experiment (with help) with a little fancy script wording in a deep purple and whether or not it wa a co incidence but I got more daft questions about the listing than I normally do, and the item went unsold :-(
