Do I have something set wrong? The page is so wide that you have to scroll across to see it all. Any body help?

do you mean when creating a listing? or the listings after you launch them?
if a listing, do you have a link to one?

After I list them. My ebay seller ID is sunshineannie*gardens. I have 15 running and they all seem to be too wide for the screen.
Hi SunshineAnnie,
I took a look at one of your listings and noticed two things that you should be aware of. Fist, you have activated your "eBay Categories" which, even though you only have one category, it eliminates about 169px of space usually reserved for your auction, so that takes up alot of realestate. Secondly, you have placed "landscape" oriented photos next to one another, by the way- your photos look great, and these are 400px wide each with a small margin in between. Now add in the fact that the particular template you chose has left and right borders that are approximately 100px each and the 5% margin that we use for spacing between the borders of the template and the contents of your auction, you have a template that is pretty near 1200 px wide then add in the eBay category menu to the far left, you are looking at around 1380 px needed to display things without scrolling left and right. I hope this broke things down for you enough. I recomend ditching that eBay store categorie thing and revising your listings to where you only have 1 image across, you can choose several layouts for your listings. Once you choose a template, the next page it brings you to is the "template layout" page where you can choose how many pics to use and you can also choose to have your text placed next to your images which might be something that will make you happy. Let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks Brent.
I tried putting the pics in single file but it was still wide.
Where do I go to remove the ebay store category box? I wondered where that came from!! heh

You are welcome Sunshine

I do not own an eBay store or I could guide you right to it. I suggest you go into your eBay account and look for an area where you can customize your store. That is the best I have to offer I hope someone else with this knowledge will come and offer some specifics for you.

Look in the seller manage store area and then customize catagories
