TRYING TO SET UP AN EBAY SHOP FOR THE NUMBER PLATES THAT WE MAKE AND DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CUSTOMISE THE INFORMATION UNDER 'DESCRIPTION' SO THAT IT'S A STANDARD PAGE?

Cant seem to figure it out for myself

any help appreciated

[khu996]

Don't know about the shop, but let me know about number plates! Do you make them 'for show use only'? I need a couple!

Not 100% sure what you're getting at here Revdecal, but I'll try to help....

In My eBay there should be a link in the left had column that says "Manage My Shop". Once you click on that and the page loads, there should be another link in the left hand column called "Display Settings". Click on that, then in the centre of the page under "Basic Information" on the right hand side should be a hyperlink for "Change". Click it, then there should be an input field for entering in your Shop Description text.

Not sure if that helps or entirely answers your question......

its just that under 'description' some advertisers have the bold coloured text and its as if they formatted a standard page elsewhere and then attatched it to the item.

keep seeing loads of hyperlinks telling me that i can do it but none telling me how

seriously...genuine question, but it doesnt hurt to mention it.

how do you go about telling fellow members that you have a service to offer at a discount without ****ing off the moderators

So in the Description field you can probably enter some basic HTML which will allow you to do the bold thing.

There's loads of HTML tutorials on the Internet but try surrounding your text with either:

<strong>
<b>

These two will just make a standard font bold. I'm sure someone will tell me one is more correct than the other. I'm old school and have always used <b>

<H1>
<H2>
<H3>
<H4>

These ones will enlarge and bold the text. 1 is biggest. 4 is smallest. (Yes, pedants there's other ways to do this and I could have used font=)

Make sure you finish whatever you typed with </whatevertag> e.g. </b>

Try writing this in Notepad:

<b>Revdecal's text here</b>

Save it as revdecal.html and open it in your browser to see what it looks like. Play around until you get the hang of the tags.
