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:

Here is good information on taking pictures of hard-to-light, small objects such as jewelry and silver. In addition check this for some information about setting up simple photographic lighting.
