Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. I don't like the fonts that are available from eBay and in Turbo Lister for my auctions. How can I change them to something that I like?

A. Instructions for changing the font type, font color and font size for your template will be included in the simple, step by step instructions. However, you must remember that not all fonts are installed on everyone's computers and a font that you may have chosen for your listing may not show up in your listing on everyone else's computers. In this case, a generic True Type font will be chosen (i.e. Times New Roman). For this reason, I generally choose fonts for my templates that are most commonly associated with most Operating Systems. Sure, some of the fancy fonts look nice and all, but not every one has them on their computers and sometimes they won't show up on their end!

Q. I've tried to include my pictures in auction templates before but they were incredibly large and everyone needed to scroll to the left and right to see the pictures! And they took a LONG time to load in my listing! What did I do wrong?

A. Most likely you did not optimize your pictures before you saved them to your photo hosting site. Luckily, I have decided to include AS A BONUS to my template customers MORE simple step by step instructions on How to Optimize your photos for your eBay listings!

Q. What's included in the simple, step by step instructions?

A. The instructions that you will receive with your template include:

  • How to customize and save your template in a file on your computer for reuse
  • How to customize and save your template as a New Template in eBay's Turbo Lister
  • How to insert pictures for your listings into your template
