Basic "how-to"

  • Create a layout in Dreamweaver (or your favorite WYSIWYG HTML editor). It will basically have these elements:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<!-- the LINK tag goes AFTER the /HEAD in this case -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" 
   href="http://www.yourdomain.com/style.css" />
<body>
<!-- use CSS to define your header and footer -->
<DIV id=header></DIV>
</DIV>
<DIV id=mainContent>
<!-- your listing HTML goes here: H1, H2, H3, P, UL, IMG tags, etc -->
</DIV>
<DIV id="footer">
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
  • "Create a new item" in ebay's free Turbolister seller tool.
  • Prepare the listing with dummy settings for fields you normally use (title, selling format, auction type, shipping options, etc.)
  • Cut and paste your layout HTML from Dreamweaver to the description builder box in TurboLister as shown here:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" 
   href="http://www.yourdomain.com/style.css" />
<!-- NOT the body tag! -->
<!-- Normal header and footer -->
<DIV id=header></DIV>
</DIV>
<DIV id=mainContent>
<h1>Buy my great stuff!</h1>
</DIV>
<DIV id="footer">
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
  • Save as a template in Turbolister.
  • Use "Create new listing from template" to make future lisitngs, making modifications as needed.
  • Good luck with your eBay sales!
