I have seen some people using programs or on-line templates.

You don't need to spend money on a template to have uniformly formatted and attractive listings.
I used to use some of the free ones, which are widely available, but then I decided I wanted something more unique to my brand and bought a couple of templates here on eBay, they can range from less than $2 to over $2k if they include store design etc (they can't be sold on eBay AU, but they can on other sites; click >this link< to get worldwide search results).
For the last couple of years, however, I've been using a template I designed myself via Freeform2, which is 100% free to use but requires a little time, effort and a moderate understanding of how to edit the templates to your liking (if you know how to upload images, and use programs like paint, a little exploring of the available options will make things quite intuitive in no time - it helps to have some design elements already in mind / at hand, like colour palettes and background patterns, if applicable).
As for the discussion boards, there's no policy in place saying this is supposed to be a "fun" environment. Fun can be had here, but that doesn't mean every thread and discussion is supposed to be "fun". This is a place to discuss selling on eBay, fun doesn't always come into it, for some I warrant fun harldy ever comes into it. It's a place where serious discussion topics are posted and important advice / debates can take place. To be perfectly honest with you, I would appreciate your threads even less than I do now if the forums were as busy as they used to be, and your constant posting of (as I have said before) questions of dubious merit was distracting from - and burying - serious threads.
I don't think an OP who is experiencing buyer fraud has ever expected their thread to be "fun" - I daresay they've expected it to be informative, helpful, possibly cathartic, possibly disappointing, friendly, respectful.... or any number of other things, but "fun"?
Or, let me put it another way - if, as you say, the forums are supposed to be fun, and no one else here finds your threads fun, what happens then?

Serious question
Thinking about buying something.
Good to see you posting a legitimate thread topic, one that can illicit serious replies. Hopefully you have not put on ignore the members that are best able to help you with this thread topic, though I suspect you may have worn out any goodwill you may need from them for them to actually feel like posting here to help you (that is a lesson for the future - don't burn bridges)
You DO NOT need any special programme to do good descriptions. Most buyers I know don't like descriptions that are filled with frilly borders or unnecessary and distracting HTML features. Just include the information a buyer needs in a description.
You can do a google search for free eBay listing templates.
My advice is to type out your descriptions in a word type document and cut and paste it as your listing description. This wont cost you anything as most computers come pre-loaded with a word type programme.
Avoid:
- multi-coloured text
- multiple sized text
- animations
- unnecessary pictures used as decoration
- scrolling galleries
- unnecessary borders
- unnecessary links to other pages or websites (keep people on your listing page rather than distracting them and sending them elsewhere)

You want to know how to write descriptions, sell more, make money. Well here it is..........spend your OWN time doing YOUR job. It has taken me quite a few years to get where I am today, and it a lot of work, ALOT. Then you come along and want other people to do your work for you, while you sit back and reap the rewards. It doesn't work like that. Stop asking this forum to do your job for you. We all had to start out slowly and we all did it by ourselves.

It is against Ebay forum policy to be agressive.
Please do not comment on my threads.
Ebay has a fun environment policy.
Thanks
