Free Ebay Listing HTML Templates

Aside from a free Ebay listing, HTML templates can add attention and draw customers to your products. Finding these templates on the web is as easy as a click for a seller template; but take some time to learn what you really need and get what you want.

You don't actually need a web template to sell items on eBay – the site itself has a template in place. However, it's a very plain, standard one, and looks just like millions of other items. In order to attract and retain customers when selling your products, using a template to spruce up a page is an effective marketing tool.

It contains most of the same things as the basic listing:

• Large images of the product, and a few supplemental images.
• A catchy title, and a sub-title ("New iPhone 3GS!" "Original packaging, never been opened…").
• A full description of the item, using search engine optimized terms.
• Shipping and other transaction terms, such as return policy and methods of payment.

The difference with a template is that there is a colorful background, images that give a theme to the site, fonts that are chosen to draw the eyes and highlight the information. The templates are designed to connect on a more visceral level with your customers – a classic '50's look for a vintage car site, for example, or a dark industrial look for a Goth clothing seller. Customers are more likely to return to your site if they feel they belong there.

If you are conversant in HTML and other web coding technologies, you could certainly just create your own eBay template layout with Dreamweaver or some other design program. However, it might save you time, frustration, and effort to simply download free eBay listing HTML templates and use them in your listings.

While many designers are happy to take your money and create a custom design, a novice seller or new business may not have the money to put out for that kind of professional work. Thankfully, many designers offer "freebies" – eBay templates that are examples of their work, competently created and easily downloadable and configurable for your website. In fact, one of the easiest ways to acquire templates is to simply go to eBay itself and download some of the templates available on that page.

There are other tools online as well, usually providing the template with the understanding that your listing will also help advertise their site. Three examples, ranging from easiest to use to the most difficult, are as follows:

• Template-o-Matic – The easiest of all template generators, this site is also, unfortunately, the least effective. It really doesn't do anything besides change the background color and a bit of the font sizes for your listing – the end result really doesn't look much different from the default eBay listing. However, this may not be a bad thing – remember that eBay is a very trusted domain, and if your listing looks like it belongs on eBay you may set your customers more at ease.
• Auction Supplies – This site uses the "copy and paste" method of a template – that is, you copy their code, paste it into your eBay listing, and only modify certain image URLs and of course the name and description of your product. It is necessary to host the images with an outside hosting service, but the backgrounds and alignment give a very professional feel. It's also a good way to get familiar enough with code to create your own templates.
• Free Form from RobsHelp – While this application has a bit of a learning curve, taking the time to master it will enable you to create amazing individualized templates that speak directly to your customer. Rob has been working in this field since 1999, with millions of pages created with his tool. Some methods are free, and some require a nominal fee, but the site is worth a visit simply to see what is available.
