Not planning to be a steady seller YET.. though in need of a good template for ads

[vintagegenie]

Hi... I used to sell on eBay a dozen years ago.  I'm now looking at selling again though with my lifestyle I can't say for certain I will be able to make this a part time business.  I'm going to try though.

I like the artistic templates.  I used to be connected to an affiliate of eBay when I was selling, but since I'm not sure of any income I won't be investing.  I did learn a little HTML and would love to create a couple of templates relating to the type of things I'll be selling.

Can I get any advice how to go about this.  I'd love to have a template with a border... colorful.. and attracting the art of selling.

Question is.. years ago we had to be careful because not all people had good internet to upload a template.  Is this still the case throughout the country?  Thanks very much..

My advice is to keep it simple, use the template ebay is providing, no need for bells and whistles, when I want to buy something, I focus on the item not the borders or the monkeys jumping left to right.

Don't use templates. Text only.

I recommend no templates.

You need your listings to be Mobile friendly....

just type or copy and paste your description into the listing.

Personal preference: plain black text size 14 or 12. I can't stand templates when I'm shopping eBay. Bright and colorful is a turn off when I'm looking for the description.

Approximately half of all eBay shoppers use mobile and templates are not friendly with mobile.

The best advice I can give to someone jumping back in after a long hiatus is to read all of the seller updates since you last sold here. Things have changed a lot!
