wigan_rl_till_i_die

And no i'm not after buying the shirt

How do you do actions like this?

To make them look more professional

Thanks

A little bit of time in MS Front Page can create something like this.

http://www.brysker.com/EbayPics/ebaytemplate.htm

The text is laid out out in a few tables, the images uploaded to a photohosting site, then embedded in the listing. A little bit of code behind the pictures makes them enlarge into the main picture.

Much more customisable than using Auctiva!

putting some listings up a while back.

No need for Frontpage. All you need is some web space to host your photos.

Be aware that this sort of auction listing may well put off a lot of buyers. I would have to really want the shirt before I would read through all the "small print" on the site. And yes, I do always read the complete listing before I bid, in order to make sure that it isn't a scam, selling just an empty box or a photo of the item.

Also, a lot of eBay buyers prefer to buy from "amateurs" rather than professional retailers, so making your auction look too professional may lose you potential buyers.

Personally what I want in a listing is good photographs and a full description of the item. Anything else is unnecessary.

I use auctiva because of the super size photos, sometimes I use a template but the ability to upload lots of big photos is the best thing for me and its easy to use.
