eBay seller Shipscript, a popular and skilled program designer, has created Zippy Stitcher, a powerful online tool to stitch together several photos to make one composite photo. Multiple views in a single image is something that sellers often want to include in a listing but often have difficulty handling this task in their graphic manipulation software. Zippy Stitcher makes it easy!

Having your own eBay Listing Template provides a base to begin establishing your online identity or brand. This enhances repeat business as customers return and recognize your business by the consistent look you present.

A well designed template not only provides brand recognition, it provides a showcase for your items and displays them effectively, encouraging their purchase. Your design efforts should keep this in mind. It’s not about pretty pictures, twinkling stars or falling snowflakes. It is all about the items you are listing for sale.

Everything in your template should be there for a purpose and move the sale forward. The most important factors are:

• Clear, keyword-rich, title that leads customers to find your listing.

• Descriptive, keyword-rich, text that clearly states, and describes, what you are selling, it’s current state and condition, and any factors you would want to know if you were buying the item. Write as if your listing has no pictures.

• Bright, in-focus, pictures (one or more as needed) to clearly display what you are offering for sale. Provide pictures as though your listing had no description.

While no listing can be good enough to cause someone who doesn’t want your item to buy it, and probably no listing can be bad enough to prevent someone who really wants your item from buying it, none-the-less a well presented listing is more likely to lead to a sale. Use a template, and create a listing, that comfortably leads the viewer to the buying decision.
