Some sellers choose to copy code from SSB and post it directly to eBay.
Be sure not to use eBay's "simple" form to post your auction. This simplified version of eBay's form does not support HTML.
When you go to sell your item, look for the link, Advanced editing.
Clicking on this link gives you a more advanced form. When you reach the Item Description box, be sure to first click on the HTML tab before pasting your code.
This is an essential step as it lets eBay know that you're pasting code and not straight text.
