Creating listing using html

puppingtons — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:38:47 GMT

Hi There,

I have just re-done a lot of my listings using dream weaver and copying over the html which looks great on my desk top and on my phone but when i try to view it on my lap top the discription area has shrunk right down so i have to scroll through it.

Has anyone else tried to do this in dream weaver and had the same problems ?

Thanks

Hi,

I create my listing in a HTML editor then copy and paste into Turbolister, then upload from there.

Ive never had a problem doing it this way.

i use a program called listing factory to do my html

what you do is design your page in dreamweaver

save the html file

then import it to listing factory

this way when making changes to the item description and pictures is much easier and it keeps your html in place where it should be

Why not use a template builder that is ebay specific, I use robshelp.com which offers free use and hosting for a ew templates or you can pay US$8 per month for the companion eaph site which offers unlimited storage of photos and templates.

This sounds more like a browser issue.

You can use dreamweaver to give you a compatibility check but it's not 100% safe.

What you need to do is check your code's output on your local drive by using a range of browsers.

Time consuming? ... definitely!

It's the only way to be sure though.

I am sure, in the last SEVEN months, the OP has worked it out. Otherwise they would probably have come back for more information sometime in the last SEVEN months.
