How to use Weebly to create a brilliant eBay listing

If you've sold on eBay, you know that the easy, unrewarding way of describing your listing is by simply adding text:

Where, oh where, shall I begin?
Now, you could use professional templates or master the desktop software out there, and there's nothing wrong with that.  However, if you use Weebly, there is a way to make your listing look great, with just a little tweaking to get it just right.

You will need:

  1. A Weebly account
  2. An eBay account
  3. A browser that allows you to view the source code of a web page (e.g. Firefox)
  4. A text editor capable of finding and replacing search terms (e.g. gedit in Linux, Notepad in Windows)
First, create a page in Weebly and make it look beautiful:

Don't you want to read more?
Next, publish your page.


Now go to your published page,



And then jump into the source code.  Find the section that says:

And copy everything between and the end of the content:

Paste this code into a text editor, and follow this example:


Obviously, you need to substitute http://www.yourownurl.com

And there you go: now all you have to do is paste this text into the empty description box in eBay and you have a professional listing!
