Using HTML Codes in eBay Auction Listings: Part 2

Now that you know where the html tab is on eBay, you can start using any of the html codes to add neat designs to your listings. For this example, I will show you how to add a marquee.

To add a marquee, simply go to our html marquee page. Then find the marquee you want to use.  I will use a simple marquee that scrolls from left to right for this example. So I will use the marquee below from our marquee page. The marquee’s code is in a simple copy & paste box as shown below. On the left side, you can see what the marquee will do. On the right side, it has the html code that you use to make a marquee.

 

 Marquee That Scrolls Left

 

So to use this code, I will type what I want the code to say where it says YOUR TEXT HERE above. I will type “buy it now for 5.99″ for the example.  So to get the marquee to say that, I will type “buy it now for 5.99″ in place of where it says YOUR TEXT HERE. So the code should read this below:

 

Okay, now that I have my marquee made up, it is time to put it in my eBay description.  So go to eBay.com & sign in to your seller’s account. Go to make the description & use the html tab that I showed you on the previous page.

Now, I will select the code above & copy this code into eBay’s  HTML section. You can copy the code anywhere you want it to show up in your listing.

After you paste the code into eBay, switch back to the “Design View” by clicking the Design tab. The design tab is located beside the HTML tab that I showed on the previous page. Then, you can finish making your listing like normal. The marquee will now show up in eBay’s standard description view, however, the marquees usually do not scroll or move until you submit your listing.

You can use the same methods for all of the other html codes. You can use as many as you would like to design your listings.

We also have a few pre-made auction templates for free that you can use in your eBay listings..

HTML Code Tutorial for Creating eBay Listings

Thank you for viewing our tutorial for HTML codes for eBay listing. If you are completely new to HTML, then you are probably already getting frustrated. Html is probably the easiest computer language to learn, but it is difficult for everyone at first.

In this basic tutorial, we will try & cover the basics on how to use html codes to make your eBay auction listings stand out from the competition!

Introduction: What Are HTML Codes Anyways?

HTML simply stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is a computer code that internet browsers(such as internet explorer, mozilla, firefox, etc) use to read & display information about the design of a web page according to the coding. Every web page you view online (including this page) is made up of html codes.

When you view a page of html, the browser only displays what the codes tell it to display. For example, the size & color of this text you are reading right now is 10pt, black, and verdana font. I had to write an html code so it would show up this way.

Every portion on this page (bold text, links, tables & layout) was designed using html codes.

How to Use HTML Codes on eBay

You can take advantage of HTML to add things such as marquees, text codes, & more to make your listings stand out from the competition.

eBay will allow you to enter your own html codes when you make your listing description. This is great because it means you can do much more than what eBay’s normal designs will allow you to do.
