This is holiday template includes four color schemes. To preview this template, dbl-click the export tab.

--Appearance--

You may choose from four different holiday gift-wraps when creating your auction. The gift-wraps are automatically stored on our server, so no hosting is necessary. There are also options to select from a few commonly available fonts. A moving marquee may be edited or removed.

--Photos---

There are two types of photo presentations in this template. You should select one or the other, as using both styles will not look right. You may add one or two single photos, or you may use the 4-photo click-gallery. Uncheck the unused options.

Auction photos should be stored on an online image host or web site, and they should be no larger than 60K bytes or they will load too slowly for dial-up users.  The photos should be no more than 400 pixels wide to avoid sideways scrolling. The template will automatically resize to fit the viewer's screen, but photos that are too large may cause the template to stretch too wide for some viewers. The auction photos that you add to the template slots will contain selective and silent no-right-click code to help ward off illicit copying.

This template also has the option to omit photos entirely if you are using eBay's Picture Services. Simply uncheck all the photo sections.

--Enter Product Information---

The template has slots to add your title, several blocks of descriptions, and your shipping, payment, and miscellaneous terms. Any of the extra description areas can be used for additional product descriptions or for other insertable codes, such as scripts and counters. The bottom text slot can be used for thank-you messages or other non-critical messages and logos. The template includes links to your other seller info, so adding your eBay seller ID will activate those links.

To create multiple paragraphs, be sure to use the <br><br> tags rather than the <p> tag, since the <p> tag will turn off your font formatting.

--Default information---

You may wish to save some of your data (like shipping and payment terms) as defaults that can be reused each time you use the template. To do so, click the "save" button on the EDIT tab and all the data on your form will be saved as default information. You can then use the "get" button to restore those values for each new session.

--Defaults for Multiple Product types---

If you would like to create default template data for different product types, then copy and save multiple copies of this template from the Markup tab, using the File menu's "Save As" option. You can then load each new template and add the appropriate data for that product line. Use the "save" button on the EDIT tab to save your data as default information for that template. Each template can have only one set of default data, which you can change at any time. To use the default data, be sure to click the "get" button after the template is loaded.

--Preview---

When you have completed your description and data entry (or at any time in between) you may click the Export tab to generate the code and then click the Preview button to open it in your browser. Hint: You may skip straight to the Preview by double-clicking the Export tab.

--Save your auction code---

When on the Export tab, you may copy and paste the generated code directly into your auction or you may use the File menu to "Save as Auction Code" for use at a later time. You may save the code as HTM so that it will open in your browser, or you may save it as TXT so that it will open in your text editor for easy copy/paste into your auction. The code will be identical in both cases, and only the file suffix is changed. If you prefer, you can save one of each type.

--Listing---

From the Export screen, copy the code and paste it directly into the Description area of eBay's listing form. Be sure to use the "Enter your own HTML" tab rather than the "Standard" tab. The code is not guaranteed to survive the re-editing that occurs in some third-party listing forms, so if you are using one, check whether your listing service has an area to enter pure HTML into their forms.

[TagBot- ][TagBot~Photo Instructions =
This template has slots for 2 auction photos. Add the URL and check the box for each included image. Uncheck the box if you do not want to include the photo.

Photos should be uploaded to your image host before adding them to this template.

--Photo size---

Images should be properly sized before using them in this template. An online photo editor is available from the Help Menu if needed. Photos should be no wider than 400 pixels to prevent sideways scrolling on 800-wide monitors, and should be compressed to under 60K bytes for faster loading.

--Image Protection---

The best method for protecting your images from unauthorized use is to watermark them. This template will further add very selective no-right-click code to automatically and silently protect your two images against casual image theft. Protection thwarts right-click copying in the most popular browsers.

<TagBot>[TagBot-Photo Gallery Option ][TagBot~Thumbnail and Caption Instructions =
This template has slots for 4 photo groups; each consisting of a thumbnail, large photo, and caption. Photos should be uploaded to your image host before adding them to this template.

--Thumbnail size---

Each photo pair includes a small thumbnail and a larger main photo. The small thumbnail will be displayed at either 64 pixels high or 64 pixels wide, depending on whether the thumbnails are on the top or side. The other dimension will adjust automatically.  Although the code will shrink or stretch the thumbnail image to fit, it is best to start with a thumbnail that is already the right size.

--Photo Size---

The larger photo will display at 400 pixels wide (the height will adjust automatically), and it is also best to create the image at the correct size. The larger photos should be compressed to under 60K bytes for faster loading. The gallery looks best if all the large photos are the same shape and size.

--How many photos---

If the large photos are well-compressed (under 25K or so) you can use the same photo for the both the large photo and the thumbnail, as in the examples in this template. The template is for four photos. If you do not have four photos, you may reuse the same photos in other slots. It will not increase load times.

--Photo and gallery Orientation---

Landscape (horizontal) photos look best with thumbnails on the top and Portrait (vertical) photos look best with thumbnails on the side.

--Captions--

Each photo may have a caption. Multi-line captions can be created by adding the <br> code, but to prevent a jumpy screen, all captions should have the same number of lines. Limited HTML (no double quotes - single quotes only) may be used in the captions to modify appearance and to add hyperlinks. Again, it is very important NOT to use double quotes ("like this") in the caption or in HTML codes in the caption, as it will interfere with the gallery function.

--Image Protection---

The best method for protecting your images from unauthorized use is to watermark them. This template will further add very selective no-right-click code to automatically and silently protect your click-gallery images against casual image theft. Protection thwarts right-click copying in the most popular browsers.

--Scripting--

Advanced users: The gallery uses inline javascript to replace images and text. Because program variables that appear in the code could also appear elsewhere in an eBay web page, unique identifiers are created by adding extra digits to the variables. The unique identifiers change with every export of this code. Therefore you can not paste parts of exported code from one session to the next without changing the identifiers to match.
