Help a moron with HTML on ebay....Listing a Pujols Lot

[baseballguy350]

So I'm trying to create an HTML listing on ebay, so I can circumvent the one free picture rule.

I've figured out how to embed the pictures, but am struggling with page breaks. Currently, it is an unreadable block of text with pictures. Is there a generator online that I can "translate" plain text into HTML.

Thanks in advance.

This is the text below:

Hello and thanks for checking out my auction. You are bidding on a fantastic lot of Albert Pujols cards.
This lot contains a rookie card, serial numbered inserts, parallels, inserts, and base cards. Unlike some lots, I will do my best to describe every card of note in the lot!

The lot contains over 300 cards total, and will certainly be a great investment for whoever takes the time to flip them individually.

The first card in the lot is a 2001 Fleer Platinum Roookie Card.
The card is scanned and pictured below:



Next in the auction is a lot of THIRTY-ONE (31!) serial numbered inserts and parallels. These cards are all listed, and numbered as low as just TEN (10) copies. There is a unimatch serial number (Pujols jersey number).

In chronological order, the serial numbered cards are listed below:

Finally, there are approximately 195 additional basecards all in at least nrmt condition from brands like: SPX, SP Authentic, Bowman's Best, UD, Fleer, Topps Chrome, Spectrum, Topps Finest, Reflections, Elite, Masterpieces, Leather and Lumber, Turkey, Heritage, Zenith, Diamond Kings, Goodwin, Goudey, T206, Allen and Ginter, Bowman Chrome, Playoff, Topps Gold Label, Leaf, Donruss, and many many more.
There are less than 15 duplicates in the base lot. A sampling of the base cards are pictured below:




There you have it. All in all, there are approximately 300+ cards in this lot. Unlike some lots where you receive multiple duplicates of the same base Topps card, this lot actually contains a great resale value. If you are unhappy with the lot for any reason, just return the lot (minus the cost of shipping), and I will refund you.


Shipping and handling on this lot will be $6.99.


If you have any questions about specifics in the lot, please feel free to email me and I will respond immediately.

Be sure to check out my other auctions, as I have a few other Pujols cards in separate auctions.

Thank you... Time to get my copy-paste on...

I do the exact same thing to post unlimited pictures in an eBay auction for free.

Where you have the links to the Photobucket files, instead of what you have:


Shorten it to this:

This will embed the picture right in the listing instead of what the longer link does, which is display it in a new window. Also, don't forget to also post a picture in the eBay listing via their photo thing. You can post one for free, and more people will look at the listing if there's a photo that shows up in the search page.

Hope this helps.

Yah, just use Microsoft Word or Open Office Writer and make it pretty.

Then, save as HTML.

Then, take everything inside the <body> tags. Don't paste all the <head> junk.

Images are just

and you should probably specify their dimensions as well. height="***" width="***". It'll just help with loading if you've got a lot of junk.

Open office and word spit out VERY messy HTML and it's very inefficient, but it'll do the job.
