Do-It-Yourself: Sales Page Graphics on eBay

Create an eBay sales page graphic on your computer.

An eBay sales page is an important tool that allows sellers to reach a wider audience for their auctions. Aside from displaying your auction information, a sales page also displays graphics. Sales page graphics are a way for you to showcase your shop logo, product images and other graphics that attract buyers visiting your page. An eye-catching sales page can translate into increased sales and help you establish your own brand.

Instructions

1. Open your favorite graphic design software, such as Photoshop, Corel PaintShop or Paint. Many operating systems come with some type of pre-installed graphic design software.

2. Create a new image that is at least 1,000 pixels in width.

3. Select the pencil or paintbrush tool and draw a logo. If you already have a logo or image that you want to use, copy and paste it into the new image.

4. Save the image in the JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP or TIFF format.

5. Log in to your eBay account and click on the "Sell" tab to create your listing.

6. Click on the "Add Pictures" button in the listing form.

7. Select the "Standard" or "Basic" uploader to upload your graphic. The "Standard" uploader only works if you have Adobe Flash Player installed.

8. Click the "Browse" button to find the graphic on your computer, then click "Open" to attach the picture.

9. Look at the preview of your graphic on the right side of the screen to make sure it is correct, then click "Upload" to add it to your sales page listing.
