Do you want to jazz up your listing and attract more bidders?
A lot of people would agree that a fancy listing ad really doesn't do the selling - it's the description, the pictures and the TOS(terms of service) that sell. However, to add some extra touches - teach yourself some basic html - it's really simple. Go here: Tons of information:

Here's a tips page with links to free templates that you might also want to check out:

Here's an easy to use program designed to create eBay auctions:

To create nice looking listings the photos need to be hosted by an external image hoster. The auction description is then done using HTML.(web browsers read the HTML to produce the web page) For information on how to use HTML for eBay try here:

If you need sound advice on how to improve your photos, see camerajim's Photo Tips at...
http://sigma-2.com/tips/camerajimstips.htm
http:ttp://www.bulls2.com/help/photgraphing-clothing.html

And here are some great tutorials by nktower on lighting, photographing small objects, editing (including cropping, resizing, and compressing) your pictures using irfanview, and presentation of your pictures on eBay. Even though the author used irfanview (a free download), these tutorials are generic enough to help regardless of the photo editing program you use.
