Getting started
We provide the best eBay store and listing design template products for our eBay customers. We make your Custom eBay Store & listings template distinctive and attractive using our eBay design template. We provide high quality designs and create an attractive look to showcase your products.
When listing your item, start by describing what you’re selling. You can add photos, select the brand and physical details about the item, choose whether to use the auction or fixed price format, and set a price.
Finally, select which shipping options will be available to the buyer, a return policy, and how you want to receive payment.
We also recommend that you get to know our rules for sellers, our policies on prohibited and restricted items, and what’s allowed and not allowed when listing and completing a sale.
Item specifics
When filling in the specifics about your item, you’ll find that some fields are required and some are not, depending on which category you’re selling in.
Item specifics may include brand, size, type, color, style, or other relevant information about the item you’re selling.
We strongly recommend providing as many of these specifics as you can to ensure that your item gets maximum visibility on both eBay and external sites such as Google Shopping.
Product identifiers
Product identifiers are essentially unique codes that can be used to identify a specific product. Most new and manufacturer-refurbished branded items have product identifiers on their packaging.
These identifiers can include brand name, Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)—such as a Universal Purchase Code (UPC) or International Standard Book Number (ISBN)—and Manufacturer Part Number (MPN).
For more information about item specifics and product identifiers, see our Seller Center page.

Summary
I needed to sell some things on eBay, so I started looking around for templates, but the “free ebay templates” you find online, are terrible! After finding some simplier ones on GitHub I settled on a Twitter Bootstrap based theme, which has the ability to embed the ‘glificons’ in the html. So this repo is my set of eBay listing templates originally forked from dandesousa/ebay-listings, with the license requirements left intact.
UPDATE code cleaned up and refactored by Mario Lurig, his changes are now in
index.html
