Just copy the above code, paste it into your eBay listing, and voila! In mere moments and at no cost to yourself, you’ve effortlessly duplicated hours of someone else’s expensive, painstaking work!
As promised, the code above is the only HTML you need to make a simple, professional eBay listing. But if you want to edit your listing, you’ll need to understand a little bit of the code and what it does.
So what are the elements behind making a visually effective listing on eBay with HTML?
Emphasizing Text
Making different parts of the font look different is one of the best things you can do to make your listing attractive and easy to read for potential customers.
Just like in word you have access to bold, underlined, or italicized text with HTML.
CODE:
This text will be <i>italicized</i>.
This text will be <b><u><i>extremely annoying!!</i></u></b>
RESULTS:
This text will be italicized.
This text will be extremely annoying!!
By using just these three simple elements of code you can make a big difference to your listing.
Making A Bulleted List
Lists are often better at conveying information to potential customers than paragraphs or sentances.
Lists can:
- Catch the eye
- be scanned easily by readers
- be quicker to write
- leave less room for minunderstandings
- be a good way to get your information accross faster
Writing a bulleted list is surprisingly easy, as you can see below and starts and ends with a simple <ul> and <p>/ul>.
CODE:
<li>Your first point goes here.</li><li>Your second point goes here.</li>
<li>Your third point goes here, and so on.</li>
</ul>
RESULTS:
- Your first point goes here.
- Your second point goes here.
- Your third point goes here, and so on.
Creating A Link To Your Email
Putting a link to your email is a great way to ensure that customers, potential customers, and hordes of heartless spambots can contact you with questions about your listing and offers of lifetime supplies of Viagra.
In fact making an ‘mail link’ is as easy as adding the mailto: code inside a hyperlink address:
CODE:
RESULTS:
Remember to hit me up!!
This link is ok, but it is better to write your full email address as the link. This way, a potential buyer can see, copy, and paste your email address more easily.
CODE:
RESULTS:
Want to do a little more with your email link? Try some of these.
- Add a CC.

Creating A Link To A Point Within Your Listing
While, with listings short is usually sweet, sometimes advanced items like laptops require a little more, and might even need a wikipedia like listing.
If your eBay listing is particularly long, you may want to add a link at the bottom of the page that takes buyers back to the top of the same page. This requires two different pieces of code: a place holder and a link.
Put this place holder at the top of your document.
CODE:
And put this link at the bottom of your document.
CODE:
RESULTS:
You can create as many of these links as you want and put them anywhere on the page.
You can also change the place holder name from “destination1” to anything you want (just make sure the name of the place holder and the name in the link are the same).
Creating A Link To Another Webpage
Not everybody does all their selling on eBay and sometimes it is wise to use it as an ‘advertisement’ to get some more eyes for a different online shop.
While eBay did try to eliminate this practice 12 months ago you are still allowed include links in your listings and linking to another site is easier than getting people to email you.
Use this code to lead buyers to another webpage.
CODE:
RESULTS:
Be sure to check out my other items!
Making Headers
Unless you want potential buyers swimming through a sea of text, you’ll want the headers and titles of your listing to stand out.
Use header tags to indicate the title of the listing and section headers
CODE:
<h3>Header Style 3</h3>
RESULTS:
Headers are important for search results. Search engines and eBay consider Header 1 text more important than Header 2 text. So make sure you use more important keywords in Header 1 tags.
Centering Headers And Images
One way to make things stand out on the page is to center them so that they are lined up differently to other elements on the page.
This code lets you center text or images.
CODE:
RESULTS:
Creating Line Breaks
Line breaks let you separate text and pictures.
CODE:
RESULTS:
This line of text will be separated from the next one.
I promise!
You can use two for a bigger space.
Adding Images
Images are powerful selling tools, so make sure you have good product images and use them well.
CODE:
/>
RESULTS:
To make sure your customers aren’t guessing about what they’re looking at even if the image fails to load use the alt=”tag, to ensure something shows up.
CODE:
alt=”Linux Netbook with 10.2 Inch Screen” />
RESULTS:
Centering Text and Images together
CODE:
<br />
<img src=”https://usa.chinavasion.com/images/thumbnails/chinavasion-CVGD-PC05-3.jpg.jpg.thumb_164x164.jpg”
alt=”A new netbook style computer with Ubuntu Linux pre-installed!”>
