How To Use CSS With An HTML Ebay Listing

Let’s face it, eBay is not that user-friendly when it comes to creative listings. I labored over a nice CSS layout and when I tried to upload the listing, the CSS mods would not take. So after much trial and error, I found a way to make it work.

If you want to get CSS working with your HTML eBay listing, you need to make it an externally linked style sheet.

Nothing is simple with the html on eBay. When you paste your HTML code, be sure and just cut/paste what’s inside your body tags and nothing else. Then make sure that the first line of the HTML code is the linked style sheet. When you preview the listing you’ll see your CSS mods.

I’ve also heard that inline styles work, but I haven’t tested that. For me, it was much easier to keep the CSS separate.
