Hi All

I am looking to sell T-Shirts on e-bay and was wondering if anyone would be able to write an HTML code for me to make it look nice and snazzy. If you could please let me know and I will give further info. :D

Cheers

Wouldn't that be classified as a site design, Chris? ;)

well not really. All I was looking for was fancy writing as e-bay has only 4 fonts which are pants, and some pictures in my item description. As far as I am aware you can only do this by HTML code. E-Bay offers backrounds and borders which I could do. :wink:

Anyway I have done a google search and have found a site with all the codes I need for fonts and adding pictures etc so I am sorted now :D

some simple tips for you...

if you want nice fancy text then create it as an image for titles, etc and put the image into your advert... create it as a gif with transparent backgrounds or a solid colour like white and it will look like this:

my background is grey

to put the code into your ad use the following code:
http://www.yourwebsite.co.uk/images/imagename.gif

for colours, size, print type etc..


for <font color="red">colours</font>, <H1>size</H1>, print type etc..

If you want different colours then enter a code like this: "#FF0000"
that is the code for Red, enter it exactly like that in the font color tag.

Here are some codes for other colours (enter the code only, not the description)

"#00FFFF" Aqua
"#000000" Black
"#0000FF" Blue
"#FF00FF" Fuschia
"#808080" Gray
"#008000" Green
"#00FF00" Lime
"#800000" Maroon
"#000080" Navy
"#808000" Olive
"#800080" Purple
"#FF0000" Red
"#C0C0C0" Silver
"#008080" Teal
"#FFFFFF" White
"#FFFF00" Yellow

Can you see how it works??

Similar to the BBCode tags but different style brackets and a few other little changes here and there...

If you want to do anything else just let me know..

Oh, and you can also have lists (ordered or unordered) and you can centre text too....

Hope that helps you out a little...

by the way, the last time I used ebay, I made my advert using the tips above and I didn't have to pay extra money for nice text...

Hello,

I know of a great free WYSIWYG HTML editor that is similar to dreamweaver or frontpage.

Its really easy to use and here's the link:

http://www.nvu.com/

If you intend to use it for ebay then I would suggest:

1) lay out your advert in a table

and then

2) when cutting and pasting the HTML code only copy the table e.g from all the following code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
http-equiv="content-type">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1"
cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>ebay ad here</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>


</body>
</html>

only copy starting from and including:

<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1"
cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

up until and including:

</table>

This part:

<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1"
cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>ebay ad here</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Hope this helps!
Regards

Cheers Guys for those codes.

You have been very helpful. If you don't mind though if I can PM you if I get stuck. Some codes are just to mind boggling for me :lol:

Cheers
