| For many ebay sellers it makes sense to use | | | | preferred WYSIWYG HTML editor. I personally |
| auction templates to list their items, | | | | love the 'Composer' program from Netscape. |
| instead of having no design at all. Using a | | | | It's free and has many features that only |
| pre-designed ebay auction template allows you | | | | expensive HTML editor programs offer. The big |

| Well, this very same principle it also true | | | | and use Internet Explorer, logged into my |
| for your eBay auction listing. The better | | | | eBay account and tried to list an item online |
| your ebay auction listing looks, the longer | | | | - 'on-the-fly'. Big mistake! In fact, it took |
| they stay on your site and the greater is the | | | | longer and the outcome was not convincing at |
| chance that they place a bit. Watch your own | | | | all. I then decided to design the auction |
| buying behaviour when you buy something on | | | | listing 'offline' first. I have used several |
| eBay. You'll be surprised why you placed a | | | | HTML editor programs before but after I have |
| bid on a particular item.Another big | | | | tried Netscape 'Composer' I haven't looked |
