I use HTML when placing auctions myself. From memory, I think that you just place the HTML in the space, and somehow the auction software knows it is html.

Addon to above:-
Don't forget, you will need to have any pics used uploaded to a server beforehand in order to have them displayed in auction. HTML will have to link to the pics on your server.

If you are a member of eBay, then you could do what I do. I copy my html from my eBay listing and this is how I do it:

First of all make sure that you have TWO windows open, one on ebay and the other on eBid!
On eBay, go onto any item and click on "Revise" (then click on "Continue") or "Sell Similar" (then click on the "Go To Review" button).

Next, scroll down and click on to "Edit description"
Scroll down again and then click on "Enter your own HTML" and Wallah! it's already written for you! Just copy and paste into eBid's little HTML box...it's dead easy!

Any problems then let me know....have fun!

Or if you use Turbo Lister, just cut the html from there and paste into the Ebid listing box.
