Neatness counts. Please don't use all caps, lots of "!!!", etc. We reserve the right to clean up titles that we find to be cluttered or obnoxious. [Tip: Avoid using asterisks, plus signs, quotes, and other special characters in your item title. Our search feature may overlook words that contain these characters and that can make it harder for bidders to find your item.] You can use HTML. Dont use quotes in your HTML, since this will break your code. Youll have a chance to see how this looks before finalizing your listing. If youre not familiar with HTML, visit eBays HTML basics page or ask for help on the Images/HTML board. Youll be up to speed in no time! Or you can skip the technical bells and whistles this time around and enter a simple item description. Just type in the words you want to see. You can add links to additional photos, but enter your primary photo in the Picture URL section. If you want more than one photo for your item, insert its URL in the Description section in the following format:
(Of course, you should replace http://www.anywhere.com/mypicture.jpg with your image URL, and include the < and > characters).

If you are selling several items as a set to only one buyer, your quantity is 1. If you are selling a number of identical items, this is called a Dutch Auction. Enter the number of items that you are selling here; multiple listings for identical items are limited up to 10 identical items at one time.

Your auction will start at this price: generally, it is the lowest price at which you are willing to sell. Setting the minimum bid too high may discourage bidding! Setting a reserve price lets you start the bidding at a price lower than you would be willing to sell for. To use the Reserve Price option, set the real amount you are willing to accept for your item; this is your reserve price. Your reserve price is hidden from bidders, but your item's information will note whether the reserve price has been met yet. All Reserve Price Auctions are subject to a Reserve Price Auction fee that is refunded when you successfully complete your auction on eBay. Leave the reserve price blank if you don't want to use a reserve price. Learn more about Reserve Prices. Note: reserve price auctions are not eligible to be a Hot Item or for Dutch Auctions. The Private Auction option specifies that the identity and email addresses of bidders are not visible on your auction page. Only the seller and the high-bidder will be notified of the auction results. Don't use this option unless you have a specific reason for example, to avoid embarrassment for bidders. Note: this option cannot be used for Dutch Auctions. Losing Information with the Back Button? If your Sell Your Item form loses all your information whenever you try to go back to the page using the "Back" button, don't worry this can be fixed. For Microsoft Internet Explorer Users:
