INSTRUCTION GUIDE FOR PLACEMENT DIRECTLY INTO
EBAY
1.Open your listing
page (in notepad) and you should see a lot of unusual script
(if you have not seen htlm before this is what it looks
like).
2. Go to edit and click "Select All"
which should highlight
all the script.
3. Go to edit again and
click copy.
4. Go to sell your item in Ebay and
follow all necessary steps until you get to your item
description.
5. Item description will usually show
in standard view. If you have previously used
an Ebay theme make sure that you uncheck it so that no
theme is chosen.
6. Click on html description
mode and right click and paste your template code (you
should see the script code in the window).
7. Click back to standard mode and you
should see your template which is know ready for you to
write your description and other details in. You will
notice that I have left text to show you where to
start your descriptions. DO NOT delete the text in the image
box as this acts as your image placement guide as described
in step 9. Also don't delete my text before you make
your own notations if you want to keep the same text font
and colour. Of course you can choose your own text
fonts and colours if you choose in the same manner as usual
using the texts and colours in the Ebay description
(standard) view.
8. You can view your template in
preview to see how it looks full size and once happy with it
submit or save listing. Recommend also that you save
the listing in the save as template box at the bottom of the
page as it can be used for subsequent listings and you
wont have to go through the above steps again.

PLACEMENT GUIDE
You can place unlimited images of your
sales items in all my templates. Usually unless
requested templates are delivered with one image box (if you
would like me to add more before delivery just let me
know). Unlimited images can be placed in the one box
and will display under each other down the page. If
you want individual boxes for each item just click on image
box in Design view to highlight box (corners of
image box will display with little squares) right click copy
and then under image box click cursor where you
would like to place the second image box and right click
paste and a new image box should display. Please
note that the image boxes will centre on the
page.

. To place an image/s into your template
you must have an image host who will host your images for
you. Free image hosting is available at photobucket
and there are others if you can't host your own or you can
subscribe to Ebay's picture manager. Just upload and store
your images with your image
host.
PHOTO BUCKET:- There are
several ways to insert images into my templates from
photobucket (or any other image host).
10. Select the image or images
you want to insert from your image host. Copy htlm TAG
(<IMG Src=...............etc) or click bottom of page to
generate multiple image codes and paste the urls into the
template in htlm view as shown below at
instruction 11.
11. Scroll through the
HTLM text until you see the following:
.................................................<DELETE
THIS TEXT AND REPLACE WITH YOUR IMAGE/S URL/S
BETWEEN QUOTES><!........................................>
I have left this text easy to find by
writing in capitals and with the dotted lines as a guide.
11. Delete carefully the
underlined text between saying<DELETE THIS
TEXT AND REPLACE WITH YOUR IMAGE/S URL/S BETWEEN
QUOTES> and paste your image url/s between
the <> quotes. NOTE it is important that the image
url/s are pasted correctly between the quotes or your images
will not display. If placed correctly it
will appear as example below:
<...................................................................................><IMG
src=" your image ><!.....................................................................>
12.
Click onto Design View. If you have pasted your
image/s correctly you will see them in the template.
If you see a red x where your image should be you have not
pasted correctly.
NOTE: See alternate options for listing
and template instructions for Auctiva and Turbo
Lister.
