Listing Template

[klassic*kids]

Good Evening.

Can an experienced seller please advise how to create a template  --ie: handling time, shipping parameters, return policy, etc -- for listings? Is there a way to do that?  It is extremely time consuming to do listings because the defaults in the fields are filled in with everything other than what I want for my listings: I need to change them each and every time I list. 

Thank you.

I used templates when I started selling, but soon realized tht ebay changes things so often that they soon become obsolete. Pushing for free shipping, changed categories, 30-day vs. 30-day returns, country of manufactur, and many other requirements change often. Even shipping weight limits for first class packages changed recently for example. I now just use sell similar even for creating a totally new listing. It take smuch less time over the course of a year.

There are several ways to create an ebay listing design:

1. If you know html - you can use an html editor to create your own designs and then copy it to ebay.
2. If you don't know code like 99% of us - you can use solutions with generic templates or others that allow you to create professional listing with drag and drop editor (like crazylister)

The important thing is to understand that you shouldn't spend hours on it when there are solutions that will save you time and increase your eBay sales.

I made a bunch of templates because it is a waste of time filling in certain things (not including when you click fixed price it can take five minutes before it changes to fill in that field). And so great, but . . . Templates don't seem to be available on the eBay mobile app either on iPad or android phone. Only if I create the listing on my computer. Since I always take pictures on a mobile device, I always start the listing on a mobile device and finish on the computer. Where can I pick my template on mobile?

I started selling from the eBay mobile app and use it almost exclusively for my listings. (I usually don't get too involved with the site editor.) I was pleased to find out a template feature existed! So I went to my phone to start creating one but had no luck; I cannot find templates on the app.

Please does anyone know where I (and jamie-yates!) can use templates?

The best solution to this is to buy this item and let designer do their job in professional way to create you a template.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-eBay-Store-Shop-Responsive-Listing-Template-Design-Package-2017-Com...

you can buy their service in about 25 - 50 GBP

and they will design a template for you according to ebay new rules

there are numerous ways to use that HTML code (template) 

they will give you written instructions with that or provide some tool to use it

infact they will do a matching ebay store design as well with installation free.

This whole will give a good look to your ebay store and items to present as a big company in front of your buyers

If you do use a listing that you are happy with make sure it is a listing that SOLD. Make sure it is someone else that is happy with it, not just you.

beats me.I have yet to find a way to create a template when every item I sell is different.It seems their templates are for sellers who sell the same item day in and day out. Ebay sucks. I have yet to find a better alternative.But with the monthly charges--I am looking.

..and yet for all their resources they cannot make this simple. Drives me crazy.
