How do I get my auctions to look better

[campsurf]

I started listing without Inkfrog because it began to suck ... now my auctions have the descriptions running down the left side instead of the middle ... is there a cheap Lister or template I can use to make my auction look better .. everything is going to h*** these days ... I need help.. I loved Inkfrog but their changes weren't for small sellers .. can some one steer me back into the game?

Your current listings look fine to me.  They are left-aligned and easy to read. Did you need something like a border?  If so, you can probably add some HTML code to the "custom template" droplist on the Business Lister's description editor and load that before entering a description.

If you need some samples, please let me know what you are looking for.

On this one:

1889-P & 1900-P Morgan Silver Dollars

The auction is for two, but the gallery picture shows only one.

Morgan dollars are highly searched, but you may loose value due to this.

Not trying to be mean, I lost my dad in 2019. I get it.

Bidders only need to know that these were from your dad's estate. (eliminate other various info)

Too much info can be a turn off, they may think you are attached to them or confused.

Good luck!

I don't see the problem.  They look fine, just like everyone else's.  Unless you want to pay more money to make them glaringly ugly colors.

If you meant where your listing description is bunched up all to the left side in a narrow column...that is a glitch...somewhere. I can usually hit refresh a couple of times and it snaps out of it.

I looked at your sales. Pretty cool stuff. I like that Cox engine. Brings back a good laugh of a story.

Jump back to the mid 70s. I'm in Junior High. Friend and I (along with about 20 other guys) are in the boys locker room changing into street clothes. Friend is into Cox engines and just got a new one he was telling me about. Suddenly he blurts out "Man I can't wait to get home and play with my Cox!"

Needless to say....he got a lot of looks from the rest of the guys that weren't in on the conversation.

Some of us has been seeing that for a few weeks now.
