Quick Ebay Question Regarding HTML Code!

[Robert Wallace]

Anyone know the HTML Code for adding pictures to item descriptions?


I have not sold anything on Ebay forever and have forgotten how to do this, the format has also changed....even the help feature which gave all the codes.


Thanks!

If it's html code you want to use, you put the tag <img src="YOUR PICTURE URL HERE">

That's it. Don't need to close or anything like you do with UBB code. make sure you don't use the single quotation marks instead of the double quotation marks.

Thanks for the reply, after some time I found the help screen and all the HTML codes through Ebay.

But the only thing is that it still did not turn out correctly, all the HTML code is still showing and the images are not present.

I hate Ebay!

You wouldn't know how I can fix this to look "normal" (without showing all the HTML code) do you?

Thanks,
Robert

They have an "easy" acution thingy now, you have to click on the HTML style editor because right now its basically a word document.

OK, I think I know your problem. You're generating this through some kind of webpage program are you? Because what's happening is, for the <img src="YOUR IMAGE LINKE HERE">, the hyperlink is showing up with the A HREF tag, which suggests to me that you are typing up the description in something like Microsoft FrontPage or something like that, so it comes with all the proprietary Microsoft Junk tags. That's why the HTML code you entered is confusing the browser and unable to just display the image, instead, it displays the text of <img src> and then follows it with the extraneous code, which just points someone to that link.

So, go into the page, and edit out the <A HREF=" "> as well as the closing tag </A> and you should be fine, the images should display.

bokmeow,

I am not using another program or word document, its all Ebays standard format for selling stuff.

I have not typed in any of that a href="" code for hyperlinks, I just typed in everything you see there onscreen.

Nesagawa,

Yeah I saw that option for HTML but the pictures did not come up in the preview screen, so I went ahead with the other option for inputing data.

I'll try to edit my auction and try to figure it out. Thanks for the help guys. I know alot of members here use Ebay alot, so someone should know what I am doing wrong here.

Thanks!
RW

Well RW it looks pretty barebone. If you could send the description to me via email, I could probably edit it and then send it back to you if you'd like. PM me for my email address.

Thanks for all the help, I just went in and made a few revisions. The old Ebay I remember using, you had to type in all the code by yourself. ( I liked it better that way)

I ended up going into Edit your description and remoed all the code I typed it and used Ebays HTML program. (It was just 1 click!) But I had to edit out their <a href="........"></a> because it still did not work for showing pictures.

So I did have to maually type in the img src="" code for adding pictures, thanks for the advice bokmeow, it helped!

RW
