How do i import a webpage to ebay without losing the background color and placement of pics?

Ebay's auction listing template won't allow me to use a background color. Also, how can I import pics without using ebay's upload function which ALWAYS places the pic at the bottom of the listing. Any ideas? I've seen people do it but don't know how they did it. Thanks.

  1. add as a link..to your page..so everything will remain untouched by eBay's standard
  2. If you truly can't use a background colour (I've never tried myself) then there's nothing you can do about it except pay for one of their themes. But, I suspect you can do it, by using a CSS style rule applied to a container div within which you place all the other HTML for the listing. <div style="background-color: blue;"> Listing content </div> As for placing images, that's a simple matter of hosting them remotely (for example on http://www.flickr.com, http://www.photobucket.com or your own site) and then using a standard HTML image tag to call them in. <img src="the location of the image"> Where the location of the image is the full URL (web address) of that image, wherever you've chosen to host it.
  3. You can change the background and insert pictures whereever you want them by using some simple html coding in your template. If you aren't familiar with html there is a good tutorial at: http://www.w3schools.com/html/ . You can do some pretty neat things with your auctions if you know just a little html. It's really pretty easy. There is also some really good information in the free ebay auction kit at: http://smart-money-help.com/free-ebay-kit that you might want to check out.
