Template Designer for eBay Templates (v2.5)

The Template Designer is currently optimized for the Mozilla Firefox Browser. This is very widely used and can be obtained from mozilla.org (click here) for free. Please use this browser to customize your auction template.

Undo Changes: If you want to undo a change, this can be done with the key combination Ctrl+Z (PC) or Cmd+Z (Mac).

We’re currently producing a tutorial video for each template. Please come back soon to have a look on it!

First you should load the Source-Code – meaning the .html/.txt-file which you downloaded – into the Template Designer. You can do this by clicking the “load/upload template from your computer” button in the tool bar.

A popup of your local file system will appear. Please choose the .html-file that you’ve downloaded and click “Open“.

To save the current state of your template, please click on the “save/download template“-button in the toolbar.

If you don’t need any of the placeholders that come with the template, please feel free to leave them. The template will detect unused placeholders by itself and will hide them once you upload your template-data to eBay.

You can insert links by clicking the appropriate placeholder from the dummy data and click on the “change/insert image” button in the toolbar. A popup will appear asking you for the URL of your image. You can use free cloud storage like Dropbox, Google Drive, Tinypic or use your own webspace.

In order to change the gallery images please select the appropriate thumbnail and replace its content with your own images by clicking “change/insert image”.

In order to replace the text which comes with the template please highlight the desired paragraph and start writing. You’ll find the most popular word processing tools in the toolbar.

Once you’ve inserted your images as we described in the second step, you’re able to link the items in the “Best Sellers”- and “Matching Products”-Areas.

If you don’t need any of the Cross-Selling-Products, please leave them. The template will detect wether you inserted content and will hide these placeholders if it’s not the case.

First, please highlight the image and link it by clicking “change/insert link“. After you’ve done so, please do the same process with the text (product name & price).

Once you’ve completed the customizing process for your first item, please click on the “save template“-button.

Then open the .txt-file file, which you’ve just downloaded. Highlight the complete text by pressing Ctrl+A (PC) / Cmd+A (Mac) and then copy it by pressing Ctrl+C (PC) / Cmd+C (Mac).

After that go to the eBay selling page and insert the text into the “HTML”-Tab by pressing Ctrl+V (PC) / Cmd+V (Mac).

Congratulations, that’s it! Your auction template is now placed on eBay!

You can choose your color with the color picker, which is the first button in the toolbar.

Every navigations elements (buy it now-button,ask-a-questions-button,feedback etc.) will be linked automatically as soon as you upload your template on eBay. The only thing that you need to link by yourself is the “eBay Shop” button, which you have to highlight and then link with the “change/add link” button.

IMPORTANT: The “Buy it now” Button can’t be used with items with variations. Please delete it in these cases.
