How To Use A WYSIWYG HTML Editor To Make Stunning Ebay Auction Listings.
 

It has the same professional features like FrontPage or any other similar program. To design stunning and professional looking eBay auction sites with Netscape Composer you need to download Netscape first. If you start up the program, select File->New Composer Page and basically you can start immediately to design your auction listings. You can make you letters in any colour, bold, italics, use background colours (or even images) etc. The options are endless. You can save this file on your local hard drive as html file. I used to have one file for every listing I generate. The best thing is that once you have got a nice and professional looking eBay auction listing, you can use it for ever. Just open your last listing in Netscape Composer and edit according to your new item. Amazingly, this takes only a couple of minutes.

But


how do you transfer your listing saved as a html file on your local hard drive to eBay? The answer is simple. Once you have logged in into your eBay account and selected your category and starting price you have to type in your item description. Did you see that eBay allows HTML format? Have a look when you launch your next listing. Thats the time where you go back to your new listing you just have created with Netscape Composer. Down the bottom of your Netscape Composer page youll see a button called: SOURCE - the source code of your listing. Click on that and highlight and copy the entire text. Select then the eBay site and paste this text into the Item description box. Make sure that all links are working and that all photos are uploaded to the internet.

When you have finalised your listing you will be surprised. A stunning and professional looking DIY-listing. You can always use ready-to-go auction templates and edit these according to your item. Youll see that with an professional auction design you can easily attract more buyers and get higher bids. Its worth the effort. Keep in mind that professional web design software is highly expensive and does the same job. Alternatively, you can choose from a huge variety of third party auction services doing the job for you. But hey, there are incredibly expensive too. Dont you think that the eBay fees are high enough and you can easily do it yourself without spending any additional dollars. Its really simple!
