I just registered my copy of "Auction Decorator" which is a Windows program to create eBay auction templates. Just type and format your text, decorate it your own way and the program writes the code and puts it in the clipboard for you. Then, go to your eBay's HTML tab of the product description and paste the clipboard there. Done, no sweat.
I made a test pasting the code directly into Auctiva's HTML tab and it worked fine! I didn't publish from Auctiva to eBay though (no new item to post at the moment) but there is no reason it wouldn't work. This is rather good news if you want to make (and re-use) your own templates while staying independent from pre-designed stuff.
One of the feature I was looking for was to be able to limit the width of my ads because my listings don't have much text and they used to look like chicken droppings when viewed full-width on eBay. With that program, you can set the width of each ad (at last...). I like it and I thought I'd let you know.
