HTML Auction Description Generator

Choose a template based on the number of photos and the photo arrangement you prefer. The color schemes shown in the thumbnail images are the default colors. You can change the colors once you've chosen the template you want to use for your auction description.

In the first step, you will choose colors and photos. Templates with spaces for photos require that you use photographs that are hosted online. There are many free image hosting sites that allow you to link to your photos. One such website is Webshots. Once your photos are online, simply right-click on the large version of the photo and copy the link. Paste this link into the Image URL fields on the form, both for the thumbnail and full size image. While it is better to have a separate thumbnail image, the image should resize to the default thumbnail size of 200 x 150 pixels. (If you prefer to use eBay's photo hosting, choose template #9, 12, 13, or 14).

In the next step, you can edit the content using a WYSIWYG editor. Internet Explorer 5.5 or later is required. Other browsers will not display the WYSIWYG editor window. You can preview in a popup browser window at any time during the edit process. In the final step, the HTML will be displayed in a window. Click the link to copy & paste the HTML to your clipboard.

In some browsers, the WYSIWYG editor may be slow to load. This is a bug in the browser. Simply click the browser's "Back" button and then immediately click the "Forward" button. This will cause the editor to complete loading rapidly.
