@gipfeleuropawrote:Thank you all for answers. We have just started with eBay, so there are more questions then clear things
Just learning to make our listings as good as possible.
What about those pictures - I will try to use description templates. What is the best place for placing pictures to have as URL for inserting into HTML code?
Have a nice day everyone
Do not put pictures and images in your description. eBay recommends a simple text description for years now. In the past year eBay restricted active content forcing sellers to have simpler descriptions. I suspect they will move to a basic simple description like Amazon in the next couple of years since they are going to a product based system. Spend your time making a clear short description. Make it mobile friendly since mobile devices are dominating the eCommerce world today.
Learn how to do the description the way eBay recommends so you will have little to update and change in the future. eBay constant changes in the past 5+ years have caused sellers so much work to edit and revise listings to be compliant to new standards each year (twice a year seller updates) I advise following current eBay recommendations.
Be sure to use the special tags for the mobile summary in your description.
I will tag @shipscript to give you some ideas on the description and how to use the eBay mobile summary feature.

No idea. Show us the HTML from the description editor and it will probably be immediately obvious.
Switch from the Standard tab to HTML tab, copy all the description HTML, and paste it in a codebox in a reply here (the </> icon the forum message editor menu bar)

I think Berserker's 1st point is the best. The OP is registered on the UK site, and others there have images in their discriptions. There must be an issue with the html.
BTW, that is not a coffee press. You might get better exposure for that item in the correct category.
A UPC/EAN will help get Google hits as well. Without a UPC/EAN, google will not index the item.

I looked at their latest 'sale' in their feedback (View Item). Then looked at the category (coffee press) at the top of that listing. They are not listing the item with an EAN or UPC.
Sorry for the confusion, the item I looked at is not the same as the item the OP is presenting here. My bad.

Say, Berserker,...what's in that glass there next to you? ROFL!!
Looks like the OP added tags to the post. Evidently, Lithium does not consider that a modification, so it does not show a modification datetime in the thread.
Well, thats not it. I do not know.

Looks like instead of adding the tags from the message edit screen, they added it after the post. I just added a tag to your postm and it did not update the modification date.
