When you want your listing to make an impact, the right eBay listing template can be just the thing to add that splash of panache and make it more likely shoppers will buy from you.
First impressions count, and attractive listings show buyers that you're a seller who cares about the details. Whether you approach eBay selling as a business or hobby, eBay templates give your listings a stylish, professional appearance that will give buyers confidence.
eBay templates for every taste
Auctiva's flat-rate plans offer more than 1,800 eBay templates for no additional fee. With colors, styles and themes for every taste, occasion or season, you'll have plenty of designs to choose from to complement your items.
But these customizable skins are not only pleasing to the eye, they also make it easier for buyers to find the information they need, at a glance.
Rather than present your listing details in a dense block of text, Auctiva's eBay templates let you organize the information, such as item description, and details about shipping and returns policies or accepted payment methods, under easy-to-read headings.
You can even tailor the arrangement of your images by selecting from among several grouping and alignment options. There's even a slick image scrolling feature that lends the appearance of a professionally designed Web page.

Here are some suggestions to help you get the most from your eBay listing template:
Dress for success. Choose a template that complements your item, product category or business focus. You want your listing to be attractive without overshadowing the item you're offering. Auctiva's many themed and neutral designs add just the right amount of flair.
Less is more. Keep in mind the color scheme of your template when deciding whether to accent your description with colored text. Excessive or clashing colors can be painful for buyers to look at.
Organize your info. Create a Seller Details profile in Auctiva to populate the shipping details, payment information, about us, contact us, and terms of sale sections of your template. Learn more.
