Half the old templates are just terrible, so there goes half of what we can use for Xmas templates, and the others are so outdated - eBayers have seen them for years. I've written them before about this, but received no response. Also, I am constantly suggesting new templates of various kinds but I guess they just don't take care of this aspect of the site. Guess they don't care what "our" listings look like. They look yuck. Boooooor-ing.

I totally agree with you on needing new templates. I've used over and over the same ones till I'm blue in the face.
Plus have you ever noticed (am sure you have) that no matter what color you change the written description to, the opening header description stays the same color and sometimes you can't eve read it, cause it's against a possible dark background?
It's always such a pain to see one's descriptions showing up as green against green, or black against a red background as an example. Grrrr.
It's like having to pay for cable TV with constant reruns from 1996.
Yes, Marlene. I've noticed. I've noticed many, many, many problems w/ their templates, too. I just don't have the time to sit here and make a list when 1) no one at Auctiva will read or respond to it, and 2) IF someone read and responded to it, they still wouldn't fix them. Which is why I'm slowly beginning to list straight from eBay.
Well... don't hold your breath!! Several threads were going on this in plenty of time for them to be put on in time for this selling season!! NOT one response from auctiva in forums. Last ones were done by an outside party and they did a STUNNING JOB!!!!

The old ones are just that OLD, some look pretty old fashioned and very outdated.

Again, like I mentioned in other thread. . please do NOT put writing on templates.. as some of the Christmas I use year round, the red/green etc.) where if they have writing they are only that Christmas!!

Maybe next year Santa will bring some!!
I wish that Auctiva would ask the public to submit ideas & picture for templates.
I would love to have more towards Fabrics, Embroidered Linens & Shabby Chic.
Some softer bordered florals & some more plain, with more color choices.
I see other eBay sellers with gorgeous templates & how I wish I could jus snatch them up. I even research where they get them & have almost switch from Auctiva, just to get those beautiful templates. LOL
Hate to resurrect this again but with holidays coming...figure I will ask so there may be time to plan some. Any chance of subbing out templates again. The company that did them before did a FANTASTIC JOB I thought. I did notice a couple of what I believe are new.

My main thought is no words on them...like CLEARANCE SALE; Sale, 50% off (most would forget to change that one back) Super Sale (again, most will not remember to change back & limits use) Welcome; Welcome to my listing, Baby, New Arrival. (some of those templates could be used by anyone if they did not have writing on them. The blue and brown baby one I have pulled several times to use...as they matched item I was listing. But kind of hard to use a BABY one on an adult womans suit. I think words limit their use.

Even if some of the popular templates used with just a color change would be great. Frankly I like the semi- plain and non fru-fru ones. (some are pretty busy and take away from the item (example for me...the cherry one). just my thought others may LOVE it!

I am sure this is not top of the HOT list...but figure since they were done outside last time it may not take away from regular staffing if done same way.

Just a thought....
